Hello Listeners!

This week is Session 04 Side A of The Phour Phandeleers, a continuation of our Lost Mines of Phandelver Campaign with some special tweaks. We’re using the Storm Kings Thunder adventure module from Wizards of the Coast with heavy modifications as our campaign framework and using is a slightly modified version of Realms of Terrinoth, a version of the Genesys Roleplaying System by Fantasy Flight Games.

In this series, you’ll hear Alex play Hal, a Firbolg Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton plays Krask, a Lizardfolk Paladin. Matt plays Rwrarp (pronounced like the frog sound), a Grung Necromancer. And Colin was running this chaos… I mean game. All of the characters had been given 150 xp to spend which may have been roughly equivalent to a 2nd tier adventurer in D&D. Since this was a conversion, we were willing to be wrong about that.

In this week’s episode, you’ll hear about the inside of a Cloud Giant’s Wizard Tower, listen as Krask and Hal train the Goblins how to do a performance, and Uitzash and Rwrarp read a journal and discover secrets!

Please, enjoy the show!

This week is Session 01 Side B of The Phour Phandeleers, a continuation of our Lost Mines of Phandelver Campaign but with some tweaks. First, we’re using the Storm Kings Thunder adventure module from Wizards of the Coast with heavy modifications. Second, the game system we’re using is a slightly modified version of Realms of Terrinoth which is based on the Genesys Roleplaying System by Fantasy Flight Games.

In this series, you’ll hear Alex play Hal, a Firbolg Bard. Kaetlyn play Uitzash, a Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton plays Krask, a Lizardfolk Paladin. Matt plays a Rwrarp (pronounced like the frog sound), a Grung Necromancer. And Colin was running this chaos… I mean game. All characters had been given 150 xp to spend which may have been roughly equivalent to a 2nd tier adventurer in D&D. Since this was a conversion, we were willing to be wrong about that.

Today we do some house keeping in Phandelin. The players have a good time at the Inn and Goblins the have a small celebration for their continued life. We also see Elsa showing the first signs of being enraptured with Dendar. Then they go negotiate with the Mayor to see if they can get the manor house on top of the hill for a song because of their fame and heroism. Which… doesn’t necessarily go as we expected.

Rwrarp may have blown up the Inn…

Please enjoy the show!

In this episode, you’ll hear us make a lot of jokes because the players are unfamiliar with the die system and they like to deflect their anxiety with humor. But you’ll also hear Colin try to force them to play the game which they do with enough grace.

Please enjoy the show!

Hello Listeners!

Before we get to the episode synopsis, I wanted to mention here that starting next week The Wednesday Night Crew will be taking a break for the holidays. There’s a similarly brief announcement in the episode as well, but it felt weird not mentioning it in writing here.

Happy holidays to all of our listeners out there! We wish you good health and safety.

Now, on to the episode announcement!

This week is Episode 53, Session 26 Side B, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 4 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 4 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is introducing Krask, a level 4 Lizardfolk Paladin. And Matt plays a level 4 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

In today’s episode, you’ll hear our characters play some very classic D&D. They use a monster’s nature to their advantage and then take another completely by surprise! Consequences result, as they always do in this game. Give a listen and see what their brilliant plans were!

Please, enjoy the show!

Hello Listeners!

This week is Episode 51, Session 25 Side B, for the Lost Mines of Phandelver, the beginners adventure presented in the Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set.

You’ll hear Alex play Hal, a level 4 Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a level 4 Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton is introducing Krask, a level 4 Lizardfolk Paladin. And Matt plays a level 4 Grung Wizard named Rwrarp (pronounced like a frog noise). Colin was DM’ing this game. We are using the Milestone leveling variant in this adventure.

In today’s episode we have a pretty tense series of rounds where Krask is unconscious and being eaten by ghouls. The party spends most of their time trying to figure out how to save the poor dying paladin but most of their plans are thwarted by the Action Economy. His rescue eventually comes in the form of an Owlbear. Not a statement typically applicable to most of my prior D&D games.
