We are re-releasing our original short series, Orinthal, with new editing and music. Three years ago, we started our podcast with this actual play with no idea of where it would lead. Taking place over a hundred years before our current actual play adventures, our characters in Orinthal looked for clues and hunted for a secret foe who instigated devious plots within the city.    For those who have listened to the original release, we hope you will enjoy this fresh take on the story. Starting from when our heroes meet, our editor Adam has cleaned up the audio and we have added music to enhance the mystery and action. If you want to hear the original character introductions, those are still available on our podcast feed. You can also read our character backstories on our website.

“Pulp adventure with noir intrigue.” We review the new Eberron campaign setting and adventure book from Wizards of the Coast about a world that needs heroes, but the stories don’t always end happily.  We are joined by our friends and DnD RAW cast members, Nick Ducharme, and Mike, @Valranoth, to talk about their thoughts on the new Eberron book. Additional notes from Mike: All dragonmarks manifest magically on a person. Usually in adolescence, but it’s not a hard rule. A few points from the author’s blog: “The most reliable way to produce an aberrant mark is to mix the bloodlines of two different dragonmarked houses. [...] The powers granted by the [true dragonmarks] are largely constructive or positive in nature, while the powers of an aberrant mark are largely destructive or disturbing.” And House Phiarlan would be a better Disney fit.
