Heroes Rise, one hundred thirty-sixth entry: Owlbears Ate The News

Welcome, brave adventurers...

... to the one hundred thirty-sixth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday September 26th, and released Wednesday September 30th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, this isn’t Lennon’s first Owlbear Rodeo. Next we check out some D&D News as we uncover:

• Well, not a lot, so we’ll just let you know it all up front:
  • Three classic settings for D&D will be coming in 2021, including one that fans have been asking for for a long time, but no further news on what or when
  • Syrinscape has an official Rime of the Frostmaiden Soundpack out now
  • Kenku have now been added to the list of Adventurer’s League legal races
  • And Adventurer’s League "Legacy characters" have been re-termed to "historic characters" aka characters from previous season

So instead we’re going to be opening up our Quest Logs as Indigo Specter takes us To The End of Time. After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep for a word with Mister Elminster; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community Questions

I know we didn’t really talk about the news, but that shouldn’t stop you if you want to! Do you have any thoughts about the additions to the Adventurer’s league?

So three “classic” settings are being released. Which ones are your money on? Do you think the one “everyone’s been asking for” is actually the one that will give Ostron ulcers?

And how do you feel about riding wild owlbears? If that doesn’t sound fun, try out the link to the Virtual Tabletop and tell us what you think of it.
