Spoiler-free review: Icewind Dale Rime of the Frostmaiden D&D adventure

Welcome to the cold, cold north of the Forgotten Realms! You’ll be needing some friends and a few warm inns to make it through, but it’s OK. The worst that can happen is the endless winter finally consumes one and all. The latest D&D campaign book, Rime of the Frostmaiden [https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/icewind-dale-rime-frostmaiden], is all about the ruthlessly cold, constant foreboding of Icewind Dale in the midst of a greater crisis than usual. It’s always cold, it’s always difficult. But now there’s something a little extra behind why the Dale is oh so hard on warm bodied life. No spoilers here! Just flavour and vibes and what you can expect from the style of game you'll bring to your table through this book. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

One year on: D&D Live goes online

A 1:1 show this time around, as Seamus thinks on one year since the show launched after D&D Live in 2019 and how that event has had to go online in 2020. He gets philosophical about D&D and spending time at a table playing games together in general, and then also manages to share some interesting news and new things that are out there you can explore.

Interview: Alex Abrate, Level Up Dice

We chat with the founder and CEO of the best luxury dice company around, Level Up Dice! They're also Australian which is a big bonus to why they're so excellent. We chat about why he started the company, his favourite materials to work with and whether people have different tastes in materials in different parts of the world. Plus advice for anyone chasing their own dreams of building a cool business. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Beyond just virtual boards to play on

Luke Lancaster is back on the show with Seamus, discussing how to not just stick to virtual tabletops and other specific digital tools for our remote boardgame experiences. Luke even ran a game of Mr Jack via Twitter! We get specific on the games, and kinds of games, that suit playing without constant access to a board, virtual or otherwise, and the particularly good reasons for using the likes of Roll20 and Tabletop Simulator to get involved. Find Luke on Twitter: @lglancaster Find PAX Australia on Twitter: @paxus Find Seamus: @seamus And Byteside is where it's always been: byteside.com! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
