PH 14 - Creating Authentic Histories and Ruins

Hey everyone! Welcome to Plot Hooks, the podcast where we explore the art of narrative and collaborative storytelling in the world's premier RPG, Dungeons & Dragons.
Today, in The Prime Material segment, Samuel talks with archaeologist and Plot Hooks team member Dave about creating histories and ruins that feel authentic within our DnD settings! In The Wilds, as voted on by our fans on Twitter, we discuss the rakshasa. And in The Tavern, suggested by Patreon supporter Saulkin, what would you do if you were recognized by everyone in a town you have never been to before?
The creation story for our custom campaign setting, the world of Khariq, went live on our Patreon this past week! In addition, Patrons also have access to a great list of Khariqan magic items, and the document explaining what sets this world apart from other Dungeons & Dragons setting is available for everyone! Stay tuned for even more releases in the coming weeks.
