Heroes Rise two hundred and fourteenth entry: Vec Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 214th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday, June 11th, and released Wednesday, June 15th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Lennon is covering something we’ve already covered… don’t make me make you role 4 initiative…

Next we check out some D&D News as we take a look at the latest free releases from D&D Beyond: The Vecna Dossier; and the Level 20 adventure “Don’t Say Vecna”. Plus we take a sneak peak at the latest mini from WizKids -- you’ll never guess who it is!

After that we have even more Vecna goodness for you as we take a Short Rest and enter the Archives of Candlekeep to learn all about the original big-bad-evil-guy; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

What are your thoughts on his redesign and 5e incarnation?What do you think of the level 20 adventure? Is this something Wizards should be doing more, or is the audience for high level adventures too small?Have you ever accidentally eaten your dice? Have you ever done it on purpose? How did that go for you?
