Dungeons And Dragons

There's a tradition behind Wizards of the Coast's Unearthed Arcana which goes all the way back to the original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons line of games, before even 2nd Edition AD&D or the consolidation of both lines into what we called 3rd Edition.

Every Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master has been there.

This post was inspired by two things: seeing that Riot Games are getting back into making tabletop games, and the recent announcement of the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, a sanctioned Wizards of the Coast product featuring the campaign setting seen every week on Critical Role.

So you want to play Dungeons and Dragons -- or any tabletop RPG, really -- but you, like me, are broke and can't afford all those books, and a ton of dice, and minis, and maps, and even more dice.

If you missed our most recent D&D session when we streamed it to our official Twitch channel last Saturday, fear not, there's a recording of the show on our podcast channel, or our Soundcloud if you'd prefer.

Okay, so you've decided you want to create your own world in your weekly tabletop game.

I love Dungeons and Dragons.

If you missed this weekend's D&D game, well, things got out of hand.

I have felt kind of like I'm failing the group in that we haven't seen either a dragon or a dungeon in the past few sessions of the Blizzard Watch Dungeons and Dragons game.

This all started when I was given a copy of Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus by Wizards of the Coast, and while I do think it's brilliant, I wanted you to know they gave me one up front.
