Heroes Rise two hundred and forty-seventh entry: Mild Magic Surge

09/13/23 • 112 min

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.

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.

Heroes Rise two hundred and forty-sixth entry: Totally Oculorbious

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 246th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday August 26th 2023, and released Wednesday August 30th 2023 over at heroesrisepodcast.com.
In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack... OK, Lennon just wrote a bunch of 1980s slang in this, and I wasn’t comfortable saying it in the 80s, so there’s no way I’m saying it 40 years later. So ignoring all of that, we’re left with “Dungeons, Laser, Dragon, Terrain, Minis”.

Next we check out some D&D News as we take a sneak peek at the Planescape box set (and a couple of monsters you’ll encounter), as well as getting our first look at Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk.

After that we’ll take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep to learn all about the Rakshasa; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.
Community Questions

So first we had the castle of tentacles in the giant resource, and now there’s more wriggling otherworldly oddness coming in Phandelver. How do you feel about the eldritch horror creeping into D&D?
Tentacled cows, flying jellied d4s with eyes, and a dragon about to kill Bambi’s family. What did you think was the oddest thing from the Phandelver videos?
Why are you all fired up about Planescape? Were you a fan of the videogame? Did you play modules from older editions? Or are you just feeding off the hype from everyone else?
