Wizards really need some love. Cantrips like magic missile need to scale with level as they will have diminishing returns as the wizard levels up.

What level were their PCs? Jim Darkmagic was casting lightning bolt and dispel magic, so I'm assuming around 5th?

That was a lot of fun. I love Penny Arcade, but not even they can hold a candle to Wil Wheaton.

There was one thing that bothered me though, and it took a while to put my finger on it: Chris Perkins was really leaning a lot on flat bonuses rather than using advantage/disadvantage.

Advantage is the one thing I've seen so far that I feel is a clear upgrade over what I'm running now (Pathfinder), so it makes me a little uncomfortable to see it getting ignored.

Cheers!

I also noticed a clear lack of advantage, overall if they hadn't kept plugging it I couldn't tell you that was next
I do have to say that was my favorite adventure with these guys yet. I thought sure Will was going in the acid again

I think that's the idea. You definitely would have noticed if it was 4th.
