We Have Darkvision

Empyreans might look a little bland but that's probably just because they are. However, there's some very cool aspects to them and we can easily imagine a dozen different ways to implement them into your campaign in interesting ways. The raw descriptions in the Monster Manual leave a lot to be desired, but they have so much more potential than is presented. So come give the episode a listen, and let us know what you think. Are Empyreans as bland as we think they are? How would you make them more interesting? Are they Friends? Are they Fiends?

This week The Gang breaks into Elhoryn Tyranth's magical vault and actually learns some useful information. Then Marblesnot proposes a plan to help them infiltrate the Goblinoid and Demon Army that is surrounding Wolf Rock.Also, what an enigma Sef is turning out to be. But if you're all wondering what his deal is, here's a hint. One of The Gang makes an accurate statement about him during the episode and then it's never brought up again.

The Drow have been around since the very beginning of Dungeons and Dragons, and for a long time they were basically the same. Evil Elves that live underground. But now, Wizards of the Coast is giving them an upgrade. Kind of. This week Kyle and Alex learn about the current iteration of the Drow, and then take a look at what changes are being made to the Dark Elves. Ultimately the upgrades are a good thing, but we still have some questions about it. We also take a brief look at an entry we skipped earlier on in the alphabet, the half drow/half spider monstrosity, The Drider.So come give the episode a listen and let us know what you think about the Drow, the retcon and whether or not you think they're friends or fiends.

This week The Gang discovers a scurry of chimpmunks in an unexpected place, learns a secret about Sef and begins to unfold the mystery of Elhoryn Tyranth.

There's not a whole lot to say about Elementals, so we're gonna leave it all for the episode. Ok well, no, that's not quite true. There's a lot to be said about elementals. However, you probably already know the gist of it. So we'll leave the interesting stuff for the episode.But, just in case you don't already know, Elementals are the living embodiments of the elements that make up the universe. We've got the band Earth, Wind (Air) & Fire, along with their outcast cousin Water.So come give the episode a listen and then let us know what you think. Are Elementals Friends or Fiends?

Obviously, the very first thing to do when Wolf Rock is in crisis, is to ignore the problem and go check up on how Cool Burger profits are fairing. And that's exactly what The Gang does. After that's settled, they gather some information about what has happened in their absence, and decide it might be time to investigate Elhoryn Tyranth.

This week The Gang returns to Wolf Rock only to find it completely surrounded by a Demon and Goblinoid army. Their solution? Plenty of fire, an absurd amount of trust in Kroy's stealth abilities, and hopefully a lot of luck.

The simple rundown for this week's episode is this: Duergar are evil dwarves.Luckily there's a lot more to the Duergar if you dig a little deeper. And actually, that's the whole deal with the Duergar. They just kept digging a little deeper. They wanted gold, but instead they got, uhh... something much worse. Come join Kyle and Alex as they learn all about the sort of psychic and very angry dwarves from the underdark. Then, let us know what you think. Are Duergar friends or fiends?

The Gang tries to hoodwink an old nemesis and get back one of their former possessions. Bort remembers that he's technically in the 1% and Nubz needs hold Kroy's hand to stop him from losing his mind. We're on our way back to Wolf Rock, let's hope it's not overrun by the time we get there!

This week's episode about Dryads is brought to you by Greek mythology, New York Fashion Week and Trees. Kyle and Alex learn all about the mythological origins of the tree dwelling Dryads and then compare those origins to the one provided in Dungeons and Dragons. It turns out that, for once, D&D has gotten pretty close to the original idea. Although, when your origin is "lives in a tree", it's kind of hard to mess that up.But are Dryads friends or fiends? And does "lives in a tree" mean they live in a tree fort? Or do they live in a hole in a tree like a squirrel? The answer is neither. It's a lot cooler than that. So come give the episode a listen and then let us know how you would rate the Dryad.
