Heroes Rise, one hundred seventy-second entry: WTFTSR?

Welcome, brave adventurers…

… to the one hundred seventy-second entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, July 3rd, and released Wednesday, July 7th, over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu promises us these adventures are legendary! Next we check out some D&D News as we discuss Volo’s guide to… Thay? The latest MTG-DND crossover adventure, In Scarlet Flames. Some news for Adventurer’s League players wanting to play in the Master’s campaigns, and whatever the heck is going on with TSR. No, not that TSR — the other TSR. No, the other one.

After that we take a Short Rest and hear some Wisdom from the Master on OP Mitigation; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

So are you familiar with Thay and their infamous Red Wizards? Have you encountered them in 5e, or do you have nostalgic experience from earlier editions?

Do you have an experience with an overpowered item or ability showing up in game? What was it, and how did the rest of the campaign or game play out because of it?
