Heroes Rise two hundred and thirty-third entry: Oh Em Gee Ell

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 233rd entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday January 21st 2023, and released Wednesday January 25th 2023 over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ostron and Ryu went to PAX Unplugged and talked to the goodfolk of Goodman Games.

Next we check out some D&D News, brought to you by the letters “O”, “G”, “L” and the number 1.1. Yeah, we’ve got some things to wade through.

After that we’ll take a Short Rest and head into the Gnomish Workshop and take a look at everyone’s AC; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Community Questions

• So if you didn’t write to us with your impressions of the OGL last episode, we’re still open to opinions.
• If you did write in, has anything that happened since then changed your opinion?
• So what’s the highest AC you’ve ever been able to get a character to? How did you manage it? What about the other way? Ever been at -1 without using THAC0?

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
