Welcome, brave adventurers...

… to the fourth entry into the Heroes Rise chronicle. This episode was recorded on Saturday, 16th December 2017, and made available for download on Wednesday, 20th December 2017 at heroesrisepodcast.com

Lennon, Ostron and Ryu are back, though Lennon’s been refusing to catch Ryu’s cold and has hit the cough syrup pretty hard. In this week’s show, Lennon tells us a great place to look up adventures. Then we take a look at some D&D news as we bring you news of:

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced EditionKobold Press’s latest worksSome new videos from Todd KenreckAnd details of Robert Adducci’s next project

Next, Ostron and Lennon Roll for Persuasion and tackle the subject of min-maxing. After that we take a Short Rest and poke our heads into the Gnomish Workshop where we learn of different bonuses DMs can give to their players; before finally finishing off the show by looking into the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

What’s your take on Min-maxing? Are you the type of player that takes pride in the most highly specialised builds, or are you happiest with making a character that feels more real? If you’re a DM, do you welcome the challenge of dealing with min-maxers? Have you ever min-maxed an NPC? No matter your views, we want to hear them!

Our adventure has now ended, and we've hung up our robe and wizard hats to enjoy our retirement on the Sword Coast, running a tavern where a fresh band of adventurers may meet and start quests of their own.
