Heroes Rise, one hundred twenty-third entry: Icewind Fail

Welcome, brave adventurers...

... to the one hundred twenty-third entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday June 13th, and released Wednesday June 17th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Ryu gets a little bit combative. Next we check out some D&D news as we uncover:

The latest celebrity lineup for D&D Live 2020The latest release hitting D&D Beyond, this time not from Wizards of the CoastAnd what is potentially a leak of the next D&D product, courtesy of a D&D Beyond screw-up

After that we take a Short Rest and hear some Wisdom of the Masters on interpreting wishes for misery and pain; before finally heading over to the Scrying Pool to see what you have to say.

This Week’s Community Questions

Do you think the leak of the Icewind Dale resource was intentional, or did someone at D&D Beyond actually drop the ball? Or is it a complete red herring and we’re not getting that resource at all?

What do you think it will be like for the Game of Thrones’ stars when they play D&D?

And is Legends of Runeterra a good precedent where D&D Beyond will be actively adding in free content of high quality, or is it another sign that 5th edition will continue to be flooded with product tie-ins and marketing material?

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. We're still around on Discord, and you should come and join the Heroes Rise community at http://discord.heroesrisepodcast.com
