Welcome to the one hundred and sixty-sixth episode of Curse of Strahd with Infinity & Beyond, broadcast live on Arvan Eleron's Twitch channel. In this episode, Baba Lysaga tempts Weller with a return to the land of the living, under certain conditions, and she threatens Ollek and Agatha. If you like what you hear, please…

After a hard-fought battle against Strahd von Zarovich and narrowly claiming victory, the party splinters. The majority of the party: Arguile, Cereius, Kyver, Galahad, and Zechs return Argon's skull, fight Baba Lysaga, retrieve Galahad's armor, and head toward Belrondis. They seek the aid of the Shuffle Guild, Zech's found family. Meanwhile, Shanks goes on a journey of discovery, as he meets the enigmatic Mr. Bell instead of Dona Takal. Lessons are learned and breakthroughs are had. All of this happens under the dark clouds that are the Constable's plans to destroy three prime material planes, and their homes. Theme Music is written and performed by The Floating Lighthouse Mixed by Thomas Lapierre III Check out the show at themedusascascade.com

Today we're joined by some extra special guests. Many of the contributors to the new hit Dungeons & Dragons 5e supplement, Baba Lysaga's Nocturnes & Nightmares are on the show discussing what it was like to bring such a big project together, how collaboration really makes for incredible projects and final products, and the soft skills needed to work in a collaborative space. The book is just a little over a week old and has already hit Silver Best Seller on DM's Guild, where it can be found for sale. Listen in and find out if collaboration might be just the ticket to get your feet wet on content creation. Or perhaps you're an industry veteran but have always flown solo projects. Perhaps this will be exactly what you need to encourage you to branch out, tap a few friends, and do a collab yourself. Buy Nocturnes & Nightmares here!

It's the heart of every D&D story: The player characters did something crazy and their whacky adventures in getting themselves out. That's what tabletop RPGs are all about, no video game will ever let players embrace free will and agency like a pen-and-paper role-playing game, and we'd never want it any other way. But it's also where playing by the book stops and the real art of being a dungeon master (or any game master) begins. Can you think on your feet to keep the game running as the players carry out their crazy plans? Or will you panic and squash the fun? In this episode, Thorin, Tony and Dave talk about 19 of the craziest stunts players have pulled in their games and how they bent the systems to make it happen — or sometimes didn't. Along the way, hear our best secrets for adlibbing and adjudicating some of the hardest situations DMs face. 2:00 That's Just D&D 4:00 Stunt 1: Oblivious in Bloodstone 2 6:00 Stunt 2: The Sphere of Annihilation is not an illusion 11:00 Stunt 3: Down the Blue Hole in Weird New Jersey 14:00 Stunt 4: Vorpal sword tricks, and just how sharp is a magic sword? 16:00 Stunt 5: The Deck of Many Things and a 2nd Edition Wild Mage with BIIIG plans … that only kinda worked. 20:00 DMing difficult wishes 33:00 Stunt 6: Wishing a Storm Giant into an itty-bitty wizard body, and how we made it balanced (more or less) with level-appropriate benchmarks 40:00 Stunt 7: Hawk Hogan!

Dungeons & Dragons is the biggest role-playing game in the world, and frankly, it's our game of choice. But that doesn't mean it does everything great. There are design choices, and in some cases design shortcomings, that shape how a game of D&D plays and separates the experience from other systems. From D&D's own basic roots (and the old-school renaissance — OSR — games recreating it) to the 3.5 spin-off Pathfinder to investigative games like Call of Cthulhu to completely different systems like FATE, Cypher, Marvel, Warhammer, Kids on Bikes and a hundred more, every RPG system creates a different feel of game. The better you understand what D&D does well and doesn't, the better you'll be able to DM it. In this podcast, we dig into what makes D&D 5E different: The experiences that define the system, what it does well and what it doesn't do well. Along the way, we'll talk about how we lean in to the best of 5E while adjusting and homebrewing the aspects we wish worked differently for the styles of games we want to run. 1:00 What does D&D 5E do well? 2:00 Plus #1: 5E stopped letting players hose the boss monsters! 3:00 Plus #2: Accessible ruleset has built the widest player base yet 6:00 Plus #3: D&D 5E is a very good encounter-oriented game 7:00 Plus #4: Gives players and the DMs cool “toys” to play with (PC powers, DM monsters, etc.) 9:00 Plus #5: Entire system supports encounter-focused style (at the expense of exploration) 10:00 Plus #6: Simpler to learn and DM 15:00 Plus #7: D&D is now optimized to teach to generations who understand video games 17:00 Plus #8: How 5E got rid of all that spell-stacking bullshit 19:00 Plus #9: The most balanced system D&D has produced yet 21:00 What about Lucky? 22:00 What doesn't D&D 5E do as well? 22:00 Minus #1: Make travel and exploration exciting. “You can do it, but the system doesn't embrace it.” 25:00 Minus #2: Investigations can drag 26:00 Minus #3: It's too hard for characters to die for real 30:00 Minus #4: Grappling and unarmed combat are shallow 33:00 Minus #5: The skills system is mushy and limited compared to other systems (complexity vs. playability is always a compromise) 37:00 Minus #6: Weapons, armor and equipment are too simplified and limited 41:00 Minus #7: Lack of mass combat mechanics 42:00 Minus #8: Not enough to do with your time and money (including Tony's instant long-rest tent, training and other things he lets players buy in his campaigns) 51:00 Why add this stuff into 5E when you could just play another game that's made for them? 59:00 Minus #9: The limits of D&D strength and the hard boundaries on D&D's so-called high fantasy setting 67:00 How DMs teach players how to play in their games (and why you can't help it) 79:00 Would Strahd care if the PCs stole Baba Lysaga's Hut and partied through Ravenloft? (an aside) 80:00 Minus #10: Encounter balance is delicate, and the CR system doesn't work well at higher levels 82:00 How to keep encounters challenging 86:00 How we're building the stuff 5E is missing into our games 90:00 Final Thoughts We mentioned that we talked about these across some of our favorite Facebook Groups.

Having bid a tearful farewell to our gruff wereraven patriarch with a heart of gold, the group turned to Baba Lysaga's hut where a whole hunk of treasure was uncovered. After some research, it was determined that a million gold pieces only weigh 7 ounces, so the loot was divvied up (basically) evenly. What will the party decide to do next?

The battle against Baba Lysaga rages on - and now there are scarecrows?! What next, a tin man and a cowardly lion? If only someone could find a brain for Nick, some courage for Will, and a heart for Strahd. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
