My last session was AMAZING! For a while, my daughter and I had been trying to convince my cousin’s daughter to give D&D a chance. Back in September we were finally successful and we had a pretty decent session - I created a one-shot that could be turned into a full campaign if she wanted to...

Maybe that NPC was just very negligent about sharpening their sword 🤷🏻‍♂️

Part of me is glad you used Chicago and New York instead of Boston and New York, because that might be putting a match to a powder keg. But, if you had, you could have ended with contrasting the clam chowder differences.

Like so many of my beloved childhood favorites! Every time I watch something that I grew up loving, it's not as good as little Gorck remembers it. For example, I couldn't get enough of The Dark Crystal when I was younger. But I watched it with my daughter and all I could hear was constant...

I feel like this could be more succinctly described as “Luck”

I wish I could ask him how he would feel about the Cartographer if it allowed you to cast Faerie Fire without concentration. But I don’t know how to contact him (I’m not into Discord, if that’s the method).

The Arcane Trickster can’t either. So maybe they only gave it to full-casters, but not quarter-casters 🤷🏻‍♂️

Also, I got the impression at the beginning of Campaign 2, that the players had broken off into 3 separate groups and played “background sessions“ that got them up to at least level 2 at the start of the stream. If memory serves me correctly, the groups were: Mollymauk & Yasha Nott & Calib...

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
