Welcome, brave adventurers…
… to the forty-eighth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday November 3rd 2018, and released Wednesday November 7th 2018 over at heroesrisepodcast.com
For our Adventurer’s Packs this week Ryu shows us how to roll with advantage when making tokens. Next we check out some D&D news as we uncover:
- Some more spoilers from Nathan Stewart with the D&D Extra Life stream
- And a preview of DotMM from Roll20
After that we take a Short Rest and continue our D&D retrospective series with a look at 2nd Edition, before finally looking into the scrying pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community Questions
What do you think of the “no teleporting” restriction on Dungeon of the Mad Mage? Is it an artificial and unnecessary way to increase the difficulty of the module, or a nice bit of flavor that enhances the immersion?
Did you watch any of the Extra Life livestreams? Any of the spoilers spark your tinfoil-hat theories?
Regale us with your 2e experiences! Were you a THAC0 master, or desperate to leave the kits behind?

Welcome, brave adventurers…
… to the one hundred seventh entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday February 15th, and released Wednesday February 19th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.
Lennon got sucked into a portal while he was trying to get to Eberron, so we had to drag Mikey out of the cave to temporarily host for us.
In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, we have a brand new TTRPG kickstarter, and instead of us telling you about it, we’ve got the creator here to do it for us. Next we check out some D&D News as we cover:
- Some Sage Advice rulings from Jeremy Crawford on Twitter
- And the latest news on Baldur’s Gate 3
After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep for the final part of our Planar Tour, this time stopping by the Outer Planes; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community Questions
Do you think Jeremy’s answers make sense in light of the rules being discussed? Have you encountered any of those scenarios yourself, and did you rule the way Jeremy did?
What other planes have you adventured on in 5th edition? Has it only been Avernus because of the module, or has your DM taken you to any of the more exotic dimensions?

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 247th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday September 9th 2023, and released Wednesday September 13th 2023 over at heroesrisepodcast.com.
This week we’re going to wander into the Market of Minauros to see what mysterious and magical items have filtered up for sale.
- Campaign Builder: Castles & Crowns
- Spiders and Sourdough
- NPC Descriptions, Maps and D100 Tables For Your TTRPG Games
Next we check out some D&D News as we take a look at the One D&D Player’s Handbook Test 7... And just like its predecessor, it’s a biggie!
And because the news is so big we’re going to be skipping the Short Rest and heading straight into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.
Community Questions
- So do you have thoughts about any of the specific changes to the classes? Is the Barbarian too druid-y? Is the Fighter wandering in the Monk’s turf? Do Warlocks have a purpose?
- What do you think of OneDnD as a whole at this point? Is it still a new evolution of the game, or is it just a Sage Advice that’s taken forever to come out?
Our adventure has now ended, and we've hung up our robe and wizard hats to enjoy our retirement on the Sword Coast, running a tavern where a fresh band of adventurers may meet and start quests of their own. We're still around on Discord, and you should come and join the Heroes Rise community at http://discord.heroesrisepodcast.comA special thanks to Vindsvept for making the awesome music you hear throughout the show, be sure to check him out at vindsvept.bandcamp.com; and a special thanks to the designer of our banners and avatars, Lo of Lo’s Lair — you can find him on X @Los_Lair and on Facebook at facebook.com/LosLair

Lennon is unfortunately still recovering from some side effects of the Peaches bicycle incident, so we asked our Community Manager RaeRae to step in for him.

So what’s your explanation for the carnival on the feywild book? Is it a hint of characters and plot hooks that will form the adventure, or is it just a marketing red herring, and it will be replaced with a completely different cover by the time of release.What goodies do you think will be coming with Strixhaven? Are we getting lots of new spells? If so, which classes will get them?
