Top 10 Stack o’ Dice Episodes

Goodpods has curated a list of the 10 best Stack o’ Dice episodes, ranked by the number of listens and likes each episode have garnered from our listeners. If you are listening to Stack o’ Dice for the first time, there's no better place to start than with one of these standout episodes. If you are a fan of the show, vote for your favorite Stack o’ Dice episode by adding your comments to the episode page.

As we approach the end of the main story, Rhett's looking ahead to what comes next. One of the things we expect to happen in the next chapter is switching to the new set of Dungeons and Dragons rules: the 2024 revision. In a series of informal discussions, we'll go over some of the changes as we get comfy with the new rules.

In this episode, Rhett and Meredith tackle the new process of character creation. While there's a lot of familiar ground, there are a few notable changes that might be of interest to listeners. Join us as we kick off the process of creating our "slightly sketch" warlock.

Let's get going!

For your reference, here are the links to the various accounts:

We provide these links so you can read along if you'd like, and to do some reading around the passages to increase your awareness of the context. Seriously, this is captivating stuff, and we hope you enjoy it.
