Welcome, brave adventurers…
… to the eightieth entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday July 13th, and released Wednesday July 17th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.
We hope you enjoyed Dissonant Whispers last week. If you want to hear more, the show will be airing once a month exclusively on Patreon, and you can get in on the action for as little as $4 per month. Every donation we receive helps to make this show better as we can invest in better recording equipment and software, and generally keep the lights on. So head on over to patreon.com/heroesrisednd.
In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Mikey’s backstory is an entire book! Next we check out some D&D News as we uncover:
- A Bloomberg article discussing professional DMs and the success of 5e
- And a sneak peek at new art from Descent into Avernus
After that we’ll take a Short Rest to hear some Wisdom from the Masters on keeping villains around before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.
