Heroes Demise, episode 100
Welcome, brave adventurers…
To a show that is, quite frankly, long overdue. You see, Ostron and Lennon decided to go to PAX Unplugged. Fortunately they left the hat unattended, and we all know Ryu doesn’t even bother with the CON save these days, so you get the pleasure of my company for the next hour.
Let me show you a Heroes’ Demise…
Unearthed Mundana: I Can’t Believe it’s not Thieves’ Cant
This article was first broadcast in Episode Ninety Nine on 4th December 2019. Ostron: Hey, there you two are! So I’ve been going over the script for How To Paint Your Miniatures and … Lennon: No time for that this week! Ryu’s going to teach us Thieves’ Cant Ryu: I am?! I, err, mean, I am! Lennon: Yep! You’ve already handed me these sheets of paper… so… here, one each… You said to read from the top, right? Ryu: Right! That is exactly what I said. Lennon: Ok, here we go! There are many languages in D&D, such as Common, Elvish and Dwarven, but very few dialects, much less alternative ways of speaking. In fact, aside from the Githyanki and Githzerai who both speak a dialect of the common Gith language, and the various elementals each speaking their own dialect of Primordial, non-standard ways of speaking rarely crop up. There is one exception,…

Wisdom of the Masters: The Tone of your Campaign
This article was first broadcast in Episode Ninety Eight on 27th November 2019. Mikey: Okay what about this one … Lennon: No, that’s still not quite right Mikey: This one? Lennon: Close… but it doesn’t quite capture the essence of “Asmodeus is trying to destroy the world”, you know? Ryu: Mikey? Is that you? What are you two cooking up this time? Lennon: I’m trying to work with Mikey to find the exact sound that describes my campaign, like you said. Ryu: And once again your grasp of the English language amazes me. We’re talking about the *emotional* tone of the game, not sound. Ostron: Although music can help with that a bit. Mikey: Right, I’m done here. Lennon: But…fine, so what did you two want to talk about? Every time you run a campaign, or even a one-shot, discussing with the table what the tone for the game is, is a very important topic. Players may have a number of different expectations…

Gnomish Workshop: Adventurers are the 1%
This article was first broadcast in Episode Ninety Seven on 20th November 2019. Lennon: And here I was so holding out hope that my day wasn’t going completely downhill. Killer DM: Awww does someone need a hug? Lennon: I will pay you money if you never ever say that again. ROSTRO: Probability analysis suggests you possess insufficient physical currency to facilitate that transaction. Lennon: Yeah, because I’m pretty sure Ryu stole it! Killer DM: Don’t look at me, she was doing that long before my favorite accessory settled upon her brow. ROSTRO: Your current predicament would quite easily be remedied by engaging in a quest or adventuring excursion. Lennon: Really? Killer DM: Oh yes darling there’s gold practically littering the ground out there. Gold has been the primary currency of fantasy settings almost as long as they’ve been around. In D&D, most of the items that can be purchased are priced based on gold, and the greedy ingrates who control the characters…
