Adventurer’s Journal: Recycling Characters
This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Fifteen on 22nd April 2020. Lennon: Hey guys? I just came from HR and I have a question. Ryu: Well that explains the sulfur smell Ostron: Oh hang on, let me just prestidigitation the floor here and… (indistinguishable squishing) Lennon: Why do I feel funny? Hey what’s going on Ryu: Ahhhh…clone? Ostron: Clone Ryu: So where’s the real Lennon? Ostron: Wait for it… Lennon: Hey guys? I just came from HR and I have a question Ostron: Great! What’s on your mind? Lennon: Why has Gath Memvar signed everything “Forever Cleric”? I thought his official position was Head Scribe? Ryu: Oh, well that was his job originally, and he’s comfortable with it. So are some of the staff. I mean, just ask KayDee’s favourite organ donor. Lennon: Yeah, fair enough, Ostron really does like having two kidneys. I really feel like Gath should just move on. Ostron: Eh, there’s an argument either way on that, I think. And…

Wisdom of the Masters: Epilogues
This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Fourteen on 15th April 2020. Ostron: Well, I’m officially out of spell slots. And I’m going to be mumbling the incantation for water breathing in my sleep now. RaeRae: Did anyone actually double check that the gnome was the only one who could fix Lennon’s bike? Ostron: What, you think he made that up? RaeRae: I just, you know, find it hard to believe he made Lennon to go get him a bunch of meteoric iron. At the bottom of a lake. With nesting Hydras. I do this for him after he nearly breaks my scrying pool. He’s lucky it was his birthday. Ostron: Well the gnome finally welded everything together, though why Lennon needs a wind gauge on his bike is beyond me. Ryu: Most of Lennon’s reasoning is beyond us, honestly. (silence) Ryu: So what do we do now? RaeRae: I’ve heard of this great chain of islands everyone’s been…

Wisdom of the Masters: Winging It
This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Thirteen on 1st April 2020. Ostron: I thought you said this wasn’t ever going to happen? Ryu: Yeah, I did, but then he taught me some stuff about Thieves’ Cant and here we are. Ostron: I thought you already knew Thieves’ Cant? Ryu: Hmm? Oh, uh, yeah. I meant I taught him. He definitely didn’t teach me. Nope. I mean, can you imagine it? Me, a rogue, who doesn’t know Thieves’ Cant? Ostron: Yeah, that’s highly unlikely, statistically speaking Ryu: Anyway, stuff and things, here we are. No! Peaches, stay. (grumbling sound) Ryu: Yes, you can play with KayDee’s nightmare after, I just need you to stay. Lennon: Okay! Bike is all set, helmet’s on, let’s do this. Ryu: Um, Lennon? You have to start up at Peaches’ head. Lennon: Right. Ladder? Ryu: With a bicycle? Ostron: Did you plan this out at all beyond “Use Peaches as a bike ramp?” Lennon: What for? I mean,…

Adventurer’s Journal: Removing the Gamey Smell of Feats
This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Twelve on 25th March 2020. Libby: Book. Lennon: No thanks, my multi-eyed friend, I’ve got this. I can find whatever I’m looking for completely on my own. Ostron: You do know Libby already has a book for you, right? Lennon: That’s not the book I want. Ryu (quietly, to herself): But is it the book you need? Ostron: Look, why are you suddenly interested in finding your own books in the annex? Lennon: I’ve been practicing my passive perception! If I just walk through the stacks here, I’ll notice the book I want out of the corner of my eye! Ostron: I didn’t know you could practice passive perception… Lennon: Well…it’s not exactly how that works, if I’m being honest. Feats are technically an optional rule in D&D, but many players, particularly those running higher level characters, like the option of grabbing one for their characters. The popularity of the variant human…
Wisdom of the Masters: Infections
This article was first broadcast in Episode One Hundred Eleven on 18th March 2020. Killer DM (drawn out and threatening): Oh Lennon… Lennon: No! Killer DM: No? Lennon: Yes? What answer keeps me alive? Killer DM: Oh we’re way past that point, but before I start showing you what your own spleen looks like, I was just curious why you tried to issue a notice saying Ryu shouldn’t be associating with me for the foreseeable future? Lennon: Well…Ostron’s doing his research on infections and he recommended everyone avoid spending time in close proximity to other people…so… Killer DM: So you decided now was a good time to attempt an underhanded ban on having me around. I can actually respect that; it has a deviousness I appreciate. Lennon: It’s not a ban it’s just…you know…until Ostron’s done with his research. Killer DM: Oh, that’s fine then. (Loud pounding on a heavy door) Ostron: What do you-ghaaah! Why- Killer DM: Are you done with your research?…
