Huh, I’ve live 25 miles away from there for my entire life and never even knew it existed. Looks like my family will have to make a trip there soon (probably in the spring when the weather gets a little warmer).

Yeah, I thought it sounded different too. I was wondering if it was actually someone else doing the voice acting (maybe Sam was still recovering from the throat cancer and was unable to do it himself 🤷🏻‍♂️). Or maybe test groups found the high-pitched voice to be grating so he toned it down a...

I can’t believe people are still confused by the Drunken Master name change. It’s pretty obvious: they changed the Monk subclasses from “Way of…” to “Warrior of…”. Way of the Drunken Master sounds perfectly fine, but Warrior of the Drunken Master sound like the monk works for the Drunken Master.

I like the subtler look that Doric had in DAD:HAT. She looked mostly human except for her horns and tail, which I found easy to overlook in most of her screen time.

I’m still not sure why you mentioned the Player’s Guide to Faerun in your reply to my post, since the 3e Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting predates it by 4 years (2000 vs. 2004).

BTW, if you liked the runtime of Session 0, the Capter 1 runtime is only 45:10

Was that 1e or 2e? (I started playing in 2000 with 3e)

I haven't had the chance to get the 2 new FR books, but for my money's worth, the 3e Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting is phenomenal. I'm not a D&D historian, but the Character Regions table (on pages 30-32, for those who want to follow along at home) is the first time I recall seeing anything...

I thoroughly enjoyed it (especially the shorter runtime), and I found the “confessional” interjections to be insightful.

Barrows and Bearowls Wait, I think that one has already been done 🤔

I was fine with Seinfeld, but Kevin Arnold on The Wonder Years had this same effect on me. I couldn’t watch that show because he made me feel embarrassed for him.

True, but the UA did have the Purple Dragon Knight and according to the article, they seem to have changed it to the Banneret (which is more setting-agnostic). So I don’t see why they couldn’t do the same with the Scion of the Three. And if the final version is similar enough to the UA, one of...

I really wish they had come up with a better name than Scion of the Three, because I find it too setting-specific. If I wanted to use it in, say, Exandria, I suppose I could alter the three gods. Bane exists in both realms, but I’d have to change Bhaal to Gruumsh and Myrkul to ….. Vesh, I...

At my table I would rule that they don’t stack. Adding you WIS to your Arcana skill feels like a yes/no trigger. Either you ad it or you don’t, but you don’t add it twice. Someone brought up the Paladin aura as an example, but that’s not equivalent. The Paladin aura allows players to add the...

I have to admit, those are 5 of my favorite characters from this campaign so far. So it looks like I’ll be anticipating the episodes with the soldiers’ table going forward.
