Heroes Rise two hundred and forty-second entry: A Bunch of Vagabond Murderhobos Roaming Around Everywhere

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 242nd entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday June 24th 2023, and released Wednesday June 28th 2023 over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu plays the bassoon. At least I think that’s what the note says, I can’t read her handwriting…

Next we discuss some of our favourite and not-so-favourite D&D settings, and what makes them truly great (or terrible), as we gather around the campfire and engage in some Dissonant Whispers

After that we’ll take a Short Rest and hear some Wisdom of the Masters on what to do with the third wheel; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Community Questions

• So we heard about settings in the Dissonant Whispers, what’s your strongest opinion? Do you *really* like Dragonlance? Do you absolutely despise Planescape? Tell us your feelings.
• You’re in charge of Wizard’s content team. Pick an IP, setting, or storyline you think needs to be made into a D&D setting. What’s your elevator pitch for it?

Support the show

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. We're still around on Discord, and you should come and join the Heroes Rise community at http://discord.heroesrisepodcast.com
