Heroes Rise two hundred and nineteenth entry: Hiffopotamous

Heroes Rise

Welcome, brave adventurers, to Heroes Rise. This is the 219th entry into our chronicle, recorded on Saturday July 22nd, and released Wednesday July 27th over at heroesrisepodcast.com.

Unfortunately Ostron couldn’t be with us this week on account of the fact we’re covering Spelljammer stuff, so you have the honour of Tony's company for this evening.

In this week’s Adventurer’s Pack, Lennon shows us a new role he’s playing

Next we check out some D&D News as we take a look at the recently released Spelljammer Academy from D&D Beyond, and take a look at the first trailer for the upcoming D&D movie Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

After that we take a Short Rest and head into the Archives of Candlekeep to discuss the duality of the Demogorgon; before finally heading into the Scrying Pool to see what you [all] have to say.

Community Questions

• The Demogorgon is a classic D&D villain, but have you ever gone up against it? How did that go for you?
• The new D&D Movie trailer is out, and it has a whole lot of people excited (and a whole lot more saying “Um, aktchully”). What classic D&D things are you hoping will show up in it? Has your gaming group already prebooked tickets?
• Will you be enrolling in the Spelljammer Academy? Have you already graduated and gone to space? Have wild stories and tales from the Astral Sea? 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. We're still around on Discord, and you should come and join the Heroes Rise community at http://discord.heroesrisepodcast.com
