Hello, Intarwebz! I recently posted this picture on Twitter and got some good feedback. One user asked me about how I got the lights in the clay, so I thought it would make for a good blog post. So here it goes! Continue reading

- celebs we saw/met
- our costumes
- the tabletop RPGs we played in during the con
- D&D Adventurer’s League
- a really fun card game called Three Cheers for Master
- Bloodborne
, worth buying a PS4 to play
- The Last of Us Remastered, excellent PS4 game

s2e9: Out of the Abyss Review
Although this is the last episode of season 2 proper, we have a lot more material from the season that we’re not going to release right now. This episode just skips to the end of the campaign because, to be honest, we were done with it.
And not just with this module, but with WotC’s big modules in general.
So, in season 3, as we’ve already hinted in our last post, we’re going to do things differently. Continue reading
Season 3 Preview
Tonight we’re going to kick off our next season.
We’re not going to do just one campaign, and we’re specifically steering clear of modules from Wizards of the Coast. So no official D&D products.
Our first sessions are going to taking on +Patrick Stuart‘s nightmare module Deep Carbon Observatory (art by +Scrap Princess) using +Chris McDowall‘s elegant Into the Odd.

s2e8: Fate Smiles Upon Thee, Adventurers!

| “Knight at the Crossroads” (Victor Vasnetsov) |
The hexcrawling continues, and we stumble upon a target rich environment. If only we had pockets to put loot in…

s2e7: Gently Slapped by a Baby
We continue hexcrawling in the under-Underdark, and all’s well. Everything is fine, really, and the campaign takes a wacky turn into romantic comedy!
Out of Context D&D:
- “Thub-nub is my slave name.”
- “Objectively, it subjectively went fine.”
- “They don’t like being gently slapped by a baby.”
- “Jim: You’re gonna have to do a lot of drinking on a lot of lonely nights to get rid of this imagery. Asa: I’m doing that anyway.”
- “You remind me of a winter treat.”
- “Dungeon Snap!”
- “Let’s hold hands and run.”
- “I love weird magic stuff. At least I know what I’m dealing with when I’m dealing with unknown magic stuff.”
- “For our listeners: Tim is explaining a trashbag.”
We reference Kung Fury at some point. If you haven’t seen it: http://www.kungfury.com/.

s2e6: Undersurgery
Journey to the Danklake interrupted by hilariously improvised field surgery.
“We’re living in the Underdark right now! Wake up, sheeple!”
s2e5: Eaten by Ghosts, Not Fine
We explore the underdark and find things that are bad.
Overheard:
- “I put the baby monitor in my ear.”
- “She got eaten by ghosts, and she’s not fine.”
- “I’ll be the P that’s not K.”
- “Great job guys; that was awful.”
s2e4: Sporebearer
Sleepover in an underbonecave — Thub-nub transcends humanity — and more!!
Note: audio quality improves after a minute or two.
We mention the Designers & Discourses podcast. Here it is: http://designersanddiscourses.com/.

s2e3: Romancing the Mushroom
We execute our plan to get—wait for it—out of the abyss.
“I’m his egg; he’s my chicken.”
CAST & BUILDS
Jim: Dungeon Master
Daniel: Gaul (human druid 1)
For my free human feat at level 1, I chose sentinel, which makes me pretty tanky.
My plan is to class up to druid 2 in order to get wild shape, and then hit up monk for some levels.
This is to make a kung fu panda build, in which I turn into a panda (or whatever) and use kung fu.
Tim: Igneum (human sorcerer 1)
Tim was going for a full on fire fire fire all the time fire draconic sorcerer build.
The action algorithm was something like this: if (fire) or not (fire) then fire.
Apparently, this build gets a bonus to fire bolt. So, yeah. It’s a thing you can do if you like burninating the countryside and/or the peasants.
Asa: Thub-nub (halfling bard 1)
Asa was going for the standard (for our group) heal+debuff bard, I think. But, as you will find out in the next few episodes, this build took a turn for the weiiiiirrrrd.
