In this Rule of Cool episode, Chris, Josh, and James dive headfirst into Warlock subclasses, calling it their "blind date" special– because who knows what kind of patron you're stuck with until level three? (Plus, with James being the Angry Scouse, it had to be done with a homage to his hometown hero Cilla Black!) They break down the Archfey, Celestial, Fiend, and Great Old One, from Misty Step manoeuvres to psychic damage and new healing tricks. Expect plenty of strategic laughs as they explore how to best utilise those hard-earned soul-selling powers!

In this Rule of Cool episode, Chris, Joshua, and James dive headfirst into the Warlock class, affectionately gushing over Eldritch Blast and comparing patrons to blind dates. They unpack wild new changes like Eldritch Smite and a warlock pyramid scheme, all while Chris almost admits the Sorcerer isn't terrible. It's a chaotic, pun-filled journey through D&D's most pact-tastic spellcasters, with a side of dancing bards.

The Sorcery Boys are back in town to sort through the beautiful bedlam of the new 2024 Sorcerer! This week is a deep dive into the subclasses, comparing the classic 5e versions to their modern forms.

We're going feature by feature on the revamped Draconic and Wild Magic origins to show you exactly what's different. Afterwards, we turn our attention to the beloved Aberrant Mind and Clockwork Soul, discussing how these Tasha's classics fit into the new D&D landscape and interact with the updated base class. If you want to know exactly how your favourite Sorcerer plays now, this is the episode for you. Listen now!

In this week's episode of Welcome to the Rule of Cool Podcast, we see our usual podcast hosts replaced by the one and only "Sorcery Boys" (trust me, stick with it and it will catch on!) Will the Sorcerer get a magical glow-up, or is it a chaotic misfire from our good friends at WoTC. Don't forget to tap into our Sorcery bloodline this week, and don't forget we'd love to hear from you, e-mail us on [email protected]

This week, we return to the world of Paladins and talk about all things with regards to Paladin's Oaths! With the weather heating up, so do our discussions over the changes between 2024 and 5e Paladin Oaths. So why not switch from your current Channel to Channel Divinity instead, while you join us on the Rule of Cool Podcast?!

From Divine Smites to Movie Nights this episode has it all, as this week we are talking all things Paladin, and giving a little Kudos to the great movie that was Dungeons and Dragons: Honour Amongst Thieves! A Key question this week: how do you feel about Divine Smite now being a bonus action? Hear our thoughts and listen to this week's episode of the Rule of Cool Podcast!

This Episode is kind of like The Star Wars Epic Rogue One, so we called it Rogue Two.... except we don't have any spaceships, or aliens, or anything to do with Sci-Fi really, and all our characters aren't doomed from the beginning.... or are they...(suspense)!

The Star Wars Dungeons and Dragons crossover episode you never knew you needed again, except that we never mentioned Star Wars once.... instead, we bring to you, The Rogue Archetypes!

That's it, it's only taken us 20 Episodes, but this week, we're going Rogue! Well, not actually, but we are discussing the Rogue class, and compared to the updates from last week's Ranger episode, the Rogue is a breath of fresh air... that fresh air may contain poison, but nonetheless give it a listen. Even if you're just listening out for the below exciting News!

Our Good Friends at CritStrikeDice have partnered with us to celebrate their launch and our 20th Episode in this awesome GIVEAWAY!!! We will be giving away a BEAUTIFUL set of Hard Edge Resin Dice with an enchanting glittery liquid core, that mesmerises onlookers as it tumbles across the table! Keep an eye out on both our socials to enter! @Welcome2ROCPodcast and @CritStrikeDice

It was incredibly hard not to begin this week's episode with a depressing ambience; we even tried to skip over the Ranger subclasses completely, but we didn't want to do a disservice to the D&D community. Everybody should know just how badly the Ranger subclasses were treated! Yeah sure, Beastmaster is OK, and Fey Wander is all whimsical and stuff, but it doesn't cover the chasm that is everything they took away from the Hunter! What once was a great crowd controller, standing tall like Legolas at Helm's Deep, has become a joke of a subclass, like Elmer Fudd unsuccessfully chasing Bugs Bunny (not the only rabbit reference this week!) Have a listen, and let us know if you agree!

It's safe to say Frustration isn't just a board game, and for once, all three hosts agree as they read the massacre that is the 2024 Ranger Class in Dungeons and Dragons. So many missed opportunities, and overwhelmingly underwhelming abilities combined with what feels like, just a lack of love and care on the side of the game developers. It is a common notion that nobody plays a Ranger beyond level 5, and with the update, why would you? No mincing words this week, Welcome to the Rule of the Not Very Cool Ranger Class
