    Las ONG denuncian la decisión de Perú de mantener el proyecto de ley de amnistía

    El Gobierno de Dina Boluarte desestimó la orden de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH), que exigía suspender de inmediato el trámite del proyecto ley de amnistía para integrantes de las Fuerzas Armadas y la Policía Nacional que vienen siendo investigados por cometer presuntos delitos de violación de derechos humanos en el marco de la lucha contra el terrorismo entre 1980 y 2000. Tras la firme decisión del Gobierno peruano los organismos expertos en derechos humanos expresaron su preocupación por la aprobación del proyecto de ley, al considerar que viola normas internacionales y contradice los compromisos asumidos por el Perú en materia de justicia y reparación. "Esta ley deja en total impunidad y premia a militares, policías y miembros de los comités de Autodefensa que violaron los derechos humanos" - Tania Pariona, secretaria general de la Coordinadora Nacional de Derechos Humanos La ley de amnistía, que aún está pendiente de la promulgación por parte del ejecutivo, afectaría a 156 víctimas con sentencia firme y otras 600 en proceso de investigación. La Coordinadora Nacional de Derechos Humanos (CNDDHH), que ha acompañado y denunciado varios casos de violaciones durante el conflicto interno, sostiene a través de su secretaria general, Tania Pariona, que de aprobarse este indulto borraría décadas de lucha por justicia y verdad. Leer tambiénCongreso peruano aprueba ley de amnistía a militares y policías procesados por violaciones de DD. HH. "Consideramos que esto es altamente lesivo para el acceso a la justicia de las víctimas y los familiares que lucharon décadas por conseguir una sentencia", afirma Pariona. "Esta ley deja en total impunidad y premia a militares, policías y miembros de los comités de Autodefensa que violaron los derechos humanos", declara la secretaria general de la CNDDHH. "Los familiares de las víctimas están no solo revictimizados de forma permanente al alcanzar la justicia bastante tardía, sino que otra vez se les vuelve a revictimizar. Esto les golpea en lo más doloroso, la amnistía anula todo lo que ellos caminaron por buscar la verdad, por lograr una audiencia pública. En el Perú estamos viviendo un contexto, ya no un debilitamiento democrático, sino un deterioro ya de las bases mínimas de un Estado de derecho", aclara la defensora de los derechos humanos.  Se ha institucionalizado la impunidad bajo estas leyes La Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos avisó que, de promulgarse la ley sin atender sus observaciones, el Estado peruano estaría incurriendo en un incumplimiento de las medidas provisionales vigentes en esos casos. Por ello, exigió que la iniciativa legislativa no continúe su trámite y que, en caso de ser promulgada, las autoridades se abstengan de aplicarla hasta que se evalúe su impacto legal en los procesos supervisados por el sistema interamericano. Leer tambiénRechazo por la nueva ley de amnistía para policías y militares acusados de violaciones de DDHH en Perú "Se ha institucionalizado la impunidad bajo estas leyes. Se cuestiona hoy la pertenencia del Perú al sistema Interamericano y esto profundiza la crisis institucional y pone en riesgo, no solo la posibilidad de acceder a la justicia en instancias supranacionales de parte de los ciudadanos peruanos, sino que además el Estado está dejando de ser el primer garante de los derechos humanos y más bien siendo el actor violatorio de los derechos humanos", dice Tania Pariona.  Perú ya aprobó en agosto de 2024 una ley que declaró prescrito los crímenes de lesa humanidad cometidos antes de 2002 en la lucha contra las guerrillas, una iniciativa que benefició al difunto expresidente Alberto Fujimori y a 600 militares procesados. Según la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación, existen en Perú más de 4.000 fosas clandestinas producto de la violencia política que dejó unas 70.000 víctimas de 1980 a 2000.

    TPK'd by Boredom: The Unearthed Arcana Wizard Review You Didn't Know You Needed (But Absolutely Deserved) This episode is sponsored by Dungeonflow.app — your one-stop shop for prepping tabletop RPGs without needing a Philosopher's Stone or a necromantic ritual. Whether you're building combat encounters, crafting creepy room descriptions, or generating traps that scream "this is absolutely a mimic," DungeonFlow helps you get from “session prep” to “actual fun” faster than a wizard can say Teleport. Try it today and let your players think you actually planned all that chaos. Show Notes: In this second arcane-infused episode of our Unearthed Arcana 2025 Arcane Subclass Review, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew digs into the grimy, glittery, and occasionally disappointing world of Wizard subclasses in Dungeons & Dragons. With a recent brush with TPK in Pathfinder fresh in their minds, the hosts pivot hard into analyzing how these newest subclass offerings stack up in the evolving landscape of tabletop RPG mechanics. We cover the Necromancer and Transmuter in painstaking detail—because someone had to—and explore what happens when spellcasting flavor is buried under generic mechanics. You'll hear: Our collective lamentation over how the 2014 Necromancer outshines its 2025 counterpart like a lich at a zombie-themed talent show. Thoughts on summoning mechanics and why “quantity over quality” isn't cutting it in modern RPG gameplay. How enchantment magic still feels like it belongs in the villain starter pack, and whether that stigma is deserved. A breakdown of the Transmuter's identity crisis—do we really need another subclass pretending to be Fullmetal Alchemist Lite? The case for letting polymorphing shine, and why Split Transmutation sounds way cooler than it actually is. A not-so-gentle rant about teleportation fatigue—yes, it's cool, but must every subclass get a blink-and-you're-there feature? Why holding a spellbook to use subclass features feels like the worst homework assignment in tabletop gaming. And, of course, a discussion on the balance between fun and mechanics, the impact of community feedback, and the ever-ongoing quest for innovative gameplay design in D&D and beyond. Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Content from RPGBOT.net UA: Arcane Subclasses Review Key Takeaways: Preparation matters—whether you're avoiding a TPK or building a viable subclass. Necromancers deserve unique summons, not recycled skeletons with a new paint job. Enchantment continues to struggle with its PR campaign. It's not always evil, but it's rarely exciting. Summoning mechanics need a redesign that favors creativity and flavor over sheer volume. Teleportation overload is turning arcane subclasses into a game of magical leapfrog. Holding your spellbook to unlock powers is a mechanic best left in the "Why?" folder. The 2014 Necromancer had more thematic weight and better gameplay synergy. The Transmuter subclass lacks a clear identity and desperately needs a polymorph glow-up. Wondrous Enhancement is a rare bright spot, making Enhance Ability actually feel worth casting. Overall, the Unearthed Arcana material feels like wasted potential—players crave excitement, not just another stack of mechanics. Community feedback is essential—without it, subclasses like these risk fading into obscurity like a wizard failing a concentration check.

    Send us a textThis coming Saturday evening in Bristol, TN the most fans ever to attend an MLB game are predicted to watch the Reds and Braves. HOF inductions took place Sunday in Cooperstown where it was as hot as it always is for those ceremonies. Dave Parker's son spoke eloquently about him and Dick Allen's widow Willa gave a moving tribute to an all-time great. Billy Wagner, C.C. Sabathia and Ichiro Suzuki all very deserving, were celebrated.  The MLB trade deadline is Friday this week and there have yet to be big-time deals but there's still time. This week in baseball's biggest story on the field was Nick Kurtz's amazing game for the A's vs. the Astros in Houston. 6 for 6 with 4 HR's and a record-tying 19 total bases! Shawn Green has company!  We talk about Win Probability Added - WPA, which catalogs which players are the ones that contribute to a team's winning chances the most. Barry Bonds, HOFers Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams are the top three with Willie Mays and Henry Aaron right behind on the all-time list and on the pitching side Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, and Roger Clemens lead the pitchers in WPA and nobody should b surprised.  The stats list a ton of HOFers and a few that should be HOFers!It is the Braves that have three pitchers w initials DD not the Rangers. Intro & Outro music this season courtesy of Mercury Maid!

Steve likes Shadowdark RPG, and is also interested in Knave, Savage Worlds, and Cthulhu / horror games. Steve has a definite favorite version of D&D (he finds it elegant and intuitive). Deep character backstory doesn't equal plot armor. Sometimes we get too used to magic in games and think of it as technology… magic should be a bit fearsome and untame. Noteworthy moments of going insane in a Cthulhu game. Skyrim and Baldur's Gate 3 discussion. Steve co-wrote the scenario for the Gold Box Pool of Radiance game. Some words about Jim Ward. Early versus later days at TSR. The job that was Steve's best year at TSR. How was the work divided at TSR? Steve offers some perspective on Lorraine Williams's leadership, given that he was right there. What was it like to be at TSR and watch Magic: The Gathering explode onto the scene? Steve worked on Spellfire, TSR's response to MtG. What was it like transitioning from TSR to WotC? Star Frontiers: how it went from hard sci-fi to “D&D in space” and how employees' desire for royalties led to its creation (and ultimately to the departure of Lawrence Schick from TSR).

    Knowledge skills: because sometimes knowing what's in the dungeon is more important than knowing how to kill it. In this episode, the RPGBOT.Podcast crew breaks down the often-overlooked but mechanically vital Knowledge skills in tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. The gang explores how these skills function in the game, how they've changed over editions, and why your party's lore nerd is secretly carrying your campaign. They explore how Knowledge checks can enrich worldbuilding, deepen immersion, and add mechanical weight to player choices. Whether you're identifying a creature, recalling ancient lore, or flexing your Arcana at a smug wizard, the right knowledge at the right time can mean the difference between survival and a total party kill. The episode also dives into how different systems handle knowledge, including Pathfinder 1e's granular Knowledge skills, D&D 5e's streamlined Intelligence-based skills, and how GMs can reward players for investing in information-gathering instead of just smiting things with swords or spells. Key Takeaways: Knowledge skills are essential for both roleplay depth and mechanical advantage. They can be undervalued by players but are a powerful tool when supported by the GM. Systems vary widely in how they handle knowledge – make sure to know what's available to you. GMs should reward curiosity and learning with story reveals, tactical insight, and world connection. Players who invest in knowledge can shift the direction of the story, avoid deadly fights, and impress powerful NPCs. Lore-focused characters add richness and versatility to any party—especially in exploration-heavy campaigns.

    Hexblades, Tattoos, and AI—Oh My! The Unearthed Arcana Subclass Roast Begins! This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is sponsored by our friends at DungeonFlow.app — the fastest way to go from “I have five minutes to prep” to “My players think I'm a genius.” Generate dungeons, traps, room descriptions, and now combat encounters with just a few clicks. It's like having a magical AI intern that doesn't eat your snacks or argue about flanking rules. Check it out today! In this episode, the RPGBOT crew puts on their wizard hats and dives face-first into the latest batch of Unearthed Arcana content from Wizards of the Coast. What's on the menu? A buffet of subclasses that range from “pretty okay” to “who let this out of playtesting?” The team kicks things off by discussing the role of AI in gaming, including its growing influence, its potential for humor, and whether it can generate a subclass that doesn't suck (spoiler: jury's still out). Then, the hosts dive into some of the new arcane-themed subclass options currently in public playtest. From the Arcana Domain Cleric's handy new toolkit to the Arcane Archer's complete renovation (now with fewer reasons to cry), they explore the good, the bad, and the “seriously, why does the Tattooed Warrior Monk need a short rest for this?” They also take aim at the Ancestral Sorcery subclass, which is trying to make "spiritual déjà vu" a core mechanic. Meanwhile, everyone wrestles with the realization that the once-iconic Hexblade may have lost its edge (both literally and figuratively). Finally, the crew speculates wildly (as tradition demands) about future D&D releases, including whether Elminster is due for a gritty reboot and if spellcasters can finally just have one subclass that doesn't explode under scrutiny. Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Content from RPGBOT.net UA: Arcane Subclasses Review Key Takeaways: AI in TTRPGs can enhance gameplay—and jokes—when used well. The Arcana Domain Cleric gets quality-of-life boosts that feel earned and fun. Arcane Archer is no longer just sad Legolas with homework; resource management changes help a lot. Tattooed Warrior Monk has style points but flops on execution—it's got big “cool tattoo, bro” energy with little payoff. Ancestral Sorcery adds flavor but not much else—do sorcerers really need more ancestry? Balancing class features is hard, but essential to avoid power creep or boredom. The Hexblade, once a fan favorite, now feels more like “that guy who peaked in 5E launch week.” Passive features are fine, but active abilities are what keep players engaged. Concentration mechanics continue to frustrate spellcasters everywhere. (Can we please have a nap?) Player feedback is shaping the next generation of D&D—keep yelling (constructively). The crew remains hopeful about future releases, including a potential return to iconic characters like Elminster. Want a second helping of subclass critiques and wizard-fueled speculation?

    Hexblades, Tattoos, and AI—Oh My! The Unearthed Arcana Subclass Roast Begins! This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is sponsored by our friends at DungeonFlow.app — the fastest way to go from “I have five minutes to prep” to “My players think I'm a genius.” Generate dungeons, traps, room descriptions, and now combat encounters with just a few clicks. It's like having a magical AI intern that doesn't eat your snacks or argue about flanking rules. Check it out today! In this episode, the RPGBOT crew puts on their wizard hats and dives face-first into the latest batch of Unearthed Arcana content from Wizards of the Coast. What's on the menu? A buffet of subclasses that range from “pretty okay” to “who let this out of playtesting?” The team kicks things off by discussing the role of AI in gaming, including its growing influence, its potential for humor, and whether it can generate a subclass that doesn't suck (spoiler: jury's still out). Then, the hosts dive into some of the new arcane-themed subclass options currently in public playtest. From the Arcana Domain Cleric's handy new toolkit to the Arcane Archer's complete renovation (now with fewer reasons to cry), they explore the good, the bad, and the “seriously, why does the Tattooed Warrior Monk need a short rest for this?” They also take aim at the Ancestral Sorcery subclass, which is trying to make "spiritual déjà vu" a core mechanic. Meanwhile, everyone wrestles with the realization that the once-iconic Hexblade may have lost its edge (both literally and figuratively). Finally, the crew speculates wildly (as tradition demands) about future D&D releases, including whether Elminster is due for a gritty reboot and if spellcasters can finally just have one subclass that doesn't explode under scrutiny. Unearthed Arcana: Arcane Subclasses Content from RPGBOT.net UA: Arcane Subclasses Review Key Takeaways: AI in TTRPGs can enhance gameplay—and jokes—when used well. The Arcana Domain Cleric gets quality-of-life boosts that feel earned and fun. Arcane Archer is no longer just sad Legolas with homework; resource management changes help a lot. Tattooed Warrior Monk has style points but flops on execution—it's got big “cool tattoo, bro” energy with little payoff. Ancestral Sorcery adds flavor but not much else—do sorcerers really need more ancestry? Balancing class features is hard, but essential to avoid power creep or boredom. The Hexblade, once a fan favorite, now feels more like “that guy who peaked in 5E launch week.” Passive features are fine, but active abilities are what keep players engaged. Concentration mechanics continue to frustrate spellcasters everywhere. (Can we please have a nap?) Player feedback is shaping the next generation of D&D—keep yelling (constructively). The crew remains hopeful about future releases, including a potential return to iconic characters like Elminster. Want a second helping of subclass critiques and wizard-fueled speculation?

    It's a DM's worst nightmare: your D&D players have made an unexpected choice, obliterating your plans, and you now have to DM on the fly. Those who DM for kids can find themselves in this position more often than DMs with adults, because kids can be wonderfully and chaotically creative players! How can you encourage your players to follow the narrative crumbs without taking away their agency? How can a DM prepare for the unexpected and grow their comfort with going off-script? Ryan and Allison share some ideas that can help!   Welcome to Area of Effect, a podcast from the creators of The Kids Table, where we discuss how tabletop RPGs benefit kids and answer your questions about playing TTRPGs with the kids at your table! About us: When kids are at the table, everyone wins! Playing Dungeons & Dragons (and other Tabletop Role-Playing Games) with kids helps develop critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, & confidence - not to mention the connections you'll build around the table.

Thank You to Our Sponsor – DungeonFlow.app: This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is proudly sponsored by DungeonFlow.app — your new favorite GM tool for organizing campaigns, generating traps, and describing suspiciously pulsing potted plants.

Try it now and streamline your prep time before the rogue does something you'll regret. Show Notes – RPGBOT.Podcast: “Build-a-Hero Workshop: Daggerheart Character Creation” Episode Summary: In this episode, the RPGBOT crew rolls up their sleeves and jumps into the nine-step character creation process for Daggerheart, the new tabletop RPG from Darrington Press. They walk through each step with equal parts clarity and chaos, covering class selection, ancestry, traits, and all the crunchy bits that make your character unique. With plenty of laughs, in-character riffing, and mechanical breakdowns, this episode offers both a how-to guide and a preview of the joy of storytelling in Daggerheart. By the end, the hosts have fully built their heroes—and maybe a few existential crises. Daggerheart (affiliate link) Critical Role - Age of Umbra Content from RPGBOT.net Daggerheart Review Key Takeaways: Daggerheart's Nine-Step Process: Character creation is broken into a clean, accessible nine-step structure. Each phase builds both mechanics and narrative. Start With Class: Your class defines your role and primary skills—think of it as the “what do you do” in the adventuring world. Ancestry Without Number Crunch: Ancestries offer flavorful features and cultural context, but they don't mess with your ability scores. Community Ties Matter: Your character's community gives you story hooks, motivations, and plenty of fuel for roleplaying. Traits are Your Stats: These determine how good you are at doing stuff—like lifting, lying, or surviving a GM's spite. Get That Gear: Equipment isn't just for show—it helps define your combat style and survival options. Background Brings the Drama: Who were you before this? Backgrounds add emotional weight and goals. Experience Evolves You: Characters can earn and spend XP to grow, change, and regret that one time they fought a horse. Domain Cards Add Spice: These magical-ish cards provide unique abilities that distinguish your character's style and vibe. Set the Stage with a Campaign Frame: The final step helps align character concepts with the world and tone of the campaign, whether you're playing light-hearted fantasy or grimdark grief therapy. Additional Notes: Expect a focus on hope and fear mechanics in future episodes—Daggerheart leans into emotional storytelling. The system encourages creative freedom and personal storytelling over min-maxing. If you love theater kid energy and rules-light structure, Daggerheart may be your next RPG obsession. Listen now to hear the team craft heroes, crack jokes, and figure out whether a raccoon bard fits the campaign frame.

    Welcome back to the 80s! Or, more specifically, July 13, 1985. We're excited to bring you our 40th Anniversary tribute to one of the greatest music events of all time, Live Aid, the benefit concerts for African famine relief held at London's Wembley Stadium, and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. In this episode we will be spotlighting the Philadelphia show. Wherever possible, we used the live recordings from that day. In some cases though, the sound quality of various songs wasn't the best, or there wasn't a recording to use. So, we used an album track instead. We also broke slightly from format and used tracks that weren't originally from the 80s, but were performed in “The City of Brotherly Love” that day.A shout out to those of you who have been with us since the beginning and welcome to our new listeners. As always, thanks to the people who helped us put this together: Alan (for all our artwork), DJ Phil B (for the technical stuff) and David Baerwald and David Ricketts, also known as David + David, for their amazing album which inspired the title of our podcast.Please tell all your friends about us and follow this page so you know when new podcasts are available. You can also follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X,  Mastodon, Threads, and Bluesky.Songs chosen by both of us, track listing coming soon.Listen, enjoy, share, follow.

This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt.  Welcome to Liberty Bluff, a small frontier town where the plains meet the desert at the edge of Deadwind Gorge. Our unlikely heroes find themselves in this hub on the great trade road, where folks come seeking freedom, fortune, or a fresh start. The air tastes of industry and something fouler - the town's lifeblood flows from the booming arcanite mine to the north, producing rare gems, coal, and the mysterious mineral that powers their world. But all ain't well in Liberty Bluff. Drought withers the farms, strange tales drift in from the western deserts of mutated creatures and bizarre plagues, and bandits prey on the trade routes. Soldiers from a northern fort bustle about, building fortifications as if preparing for siege. In this powder keg of a frontier town, four strangers are about to find their fates intertwined.

    We upgraded Foundry, discovered a few surprise “features,” and then dove headfirst into the hope-and-fear-fueled mayhem of Daggerheart—join us for mechanics, emotions, and at least one character death that felt really personal. This episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast is sponsored by DungeonFlow.app, your one-stop shop for streamlining game prep and powering up your sessions. Whether you're navigating Daggerheart's emotional economy or just trying to remember what room had the spiky floor trap, DungeonFlow has your back. With encounter builders, random traps, and mood-setting room descriptions, it's like having a co-GM who doesn't argue about initiative order. Sign up now at DungeonFlow.app and take your table from chaos to controlled chaos. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew kicks things off with a heroic tale of bravery: upgrading Foundry to version 13. With great power comes great mod compatibility checks—but hey, the new features are worth the hiccups! Once the tech dust settles, the gang dives into Daggerheart, the shiny new TTRPG from the folks at Darrington Press. From hit points and stress to hope, fear, and “please don't let me die here,” the team explores Daggerheart's unique approach to narrative and mechanics. They debate the crunchy bits, the soft edges, and the places where player creativity takes center stage. Along the way, they find just enough time to question the currency system, roast the movement rules (with love), and embrace the initiative mechanic that requires actual trust. Scary stuff. Key Takeaways: Foundry v13 brings new power to your table—but double-check those mods before you click "update." Daggerheart's mechanics are fueled by hope and fear, which is either brilliant or a therapy session waiting to happen. The resting system adds strategic depth without slowing the narrative. Resource management includes stress and HP, because feelings matter. Tiered play defines your character's journey, from barely surviving to epic storytelling. Armor rules with damage thresholds add depth—but not so much math you'll need a spreadsheet. Equipment tiers create clear gear progression, and swords still go “stab.” The initiative system promotes teamwork by letting players choose who goes next. Trust issues? Might wanna talk about that. The death system gives players dramatic, meaningful choices—finally, death with flair. The system is setting-agnostic, perfect for fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic baking contests, or whatever you're into. Movement mechanics could use polish, but if you've ever argued over diagonals in D&D, you'll feel right at home. Tune in for mechanics, drama, heartfelt dice rolls—and yes, a very suspicious shrub.

    Episode 71 - Murdock and Marvel: 2006 Part 2 Last week in the takeaway we talked about how 2005 had elements that pointed to a new golden age for comics, and there were elements that pointed to dangerous days ahead.  Well, if 2006 is any indication, Golden Age it is...   This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2006.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #79-90, Daredevil vs Punisher #6, Daredevil: Father #5, Fantastic Four: The Wedding Special #1, Spider-Man Unlimited #12, Black Widow 2 #4-6, Playmates Toys #1, Spider-Man /Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do #4-6, Marvel Zombies #2-3, Pulse #13, Thing #3  X-Statix Presents: Dead Girl #1, I Heart Marvel: Marvel Ai #1, Marvel Team-Up #17 and 20, New Mangaverse #2, Amazing Spider-Man #530 and 534, Thunderbolts #100/105/107, Doc Samson #4, Wolverine #42, Exiles #83, Cable & Deadpool #31, Fantastic Four #539, New Avengers #22 and 24, Marvel Select Flip Magazine #16-17, Civil War #1-6, Civil War: Choosing Sides #1, Civil War: Young Avengers & Runaways #1, Civil War: Frontline #10  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#79-81), Ed Brubaker (#82-90)  Pencils: Alex Maleev (#79-81), Michael Lark (#82-87 and #89-90), David Aja (#88)  Inks: Alex Maleev (#79-81), Michael Lark (#82), Stefano Gaudiano (#83-87 and #89-90), David Aja (#88)  The year begins with the final three issues of The Murdock Papers from Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev.  In April, We get a new creative team and a new story arch with three parts centered around Matt Murdock in prison.  The first is entitled The Devil in Cell-Block D and in it, Brubaker and Lark do the unthinkable – while visiting Matt in prison, Foggy and their assistant Dakota are assaulted – with Foggy being stabbed while Murdock is unable to help while bring locked up in solitary confinement. The story ends with Matt Murdock frantically screaming, "His heart is still beating," over and over.  As the story continues, we see a funeral for Foggy (which Murdock is able to attend) and we see someone is running around the city in the Daredevil costume on – which does seem to help Murdock's case for not being our horned hero. In August, we see Fisk and Murdock working together to survive a prison riot and after Murdock escapes from prison with the help of the recently incarcerated Punisher.    In the finale of The Devil in Cell Block D, Murdock hunts down the other Daredevil – who turns out to be Iron Fist – who was trying to help keep Murdock's secret identity hidden. Matt decides to leave the country for Monaco to find the man responsible for having Foggy killed. But Foggy is alive and well and hiding under the witness protection program. The warden believes Matt was truly a helpless victim of Punishers and goes public with this on TV.  Next we catch up with the recently revealed to be alive Foggy Nelson in a single-issue story called “The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson. In it we see him try to reach out to Ben Urich and others but he is stopped by the FBI who are “protecting” him.  Finally, to finish off the 2006 – which bleeds into 2007 – we travel to Europe (specifically Monaco to start with) for Murdock's hunt for a lawyer, Alton Lennox, who helped “kill” Foggy Nelson entitled The Devil Takes a Ride. In it, he teams up with a mob bosses daughter who turns out to double cross him. He confronts her (and Tombstone) in Paris and tells her he's not so easily fooled. Daredevil finally finds out who has been behind everything and it turns out to be the wife of his most hated enemy, Vanessa Fisk. When Murdock confronts her in Zurich, we learn she is dying and he manipulated Murdock to get him to help free Wilson Fisk as her dying wish. Murdock initially refuses, but she knows he'll eventually agree and sets her plan in motion – killing Leland Drummond, the FBI director going after Murodck.   The Devil takes a Ride concludes with Matt finding out Foggy is still alive and also helping release the Kingpin from prison to honor Vanessa's memory. Though he has the Kingpin agree to have his U.S. Citizenship revoked and that Fisk will have to leave the country. Foggy agrees with Matt's idea to move their law firm to a new location as well as changing their business method of accepting clients from referrals only to avoid drawing attention from DD's enemies. It was also decided that Becky Blake will join their firm as a law partner (Nelson, Blake, and Murdock). Matt also moves him and Milla to a new apartment as well since too many of his enemies already knew the address of his previous apartment.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #82 April 2006 “The Devil in Cell-Block D Part One”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway It doesn't get any better than this.  Comics in 2006 are at the top of their form both in terms of their content and their cultural impact.

    What if your depression had hit points and could punch back? Welcome to the Shadowfell. Huge thanks to DungeonFlow.app for sponsoring this episode—because even in the Shadowfell, your dungeon prep shouldn't be a nightmare. Sign up today at DungeonFlow.app and start building better encounters, faster. It's free to try, easy to use, and unlike the Shadowfell... it won't drain your soul. In this laughably bleak episode, the RPGBOT crew takes a torch (dimly lit, flickering with existential dread) and dives headfirst into the Shadowfell—D&D's very own Plane of Gloom, where your hopes go to die and the sun never texts you back. The hosts unpack the lore, the gloomcore aesthetics, and the mechanics of navigating this dreary dimension. From emo elf-goths to soul-sucking murder ghosts, they explore the Shadowfell's rich tapestry of despair with their trademark mix of irreverent humor and actual, useful advice. They cover Shadowfell travel tips (spoiler: don't forget your psychic damage buffer), notable creatures like Nightwalkers and Sorrow Sworn, and character options like the Shadar-Kai, for when you want your rogue to have a nose ring and chronic emotional detachment. Also: haunted vacation spots, deific edgelords, and a call for better horror monsters in D&D. Because the real horror is boring stat blocks. Book of Ebon Tides, Kobold Press (affiliate link) Dungeon Master's Guide (affiliate link) Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (affiliate link) Forgotten Realms Wiki - Shadowfell Pathfinder Wiki Archives of Nethys Key Takeaways The Shadowfell is the emo cousin of the Feywild – Think sad trees, gray skies, and your bard journaling about “the void.” Stranger Things is Shadowfell-adjacent – The Upside Down is basically what happens when Vecna fails upward. How to get there – Use Shadow Crossings, dark rituals, or emotionally devastating breakups. Character options abound – Play a Shadar-Kai for teleporting angst or a Fetchling for stylish gloom-chic. Sorrow Sworn are weaponized sadness – They literally punch you with feelings. Therapy not included. Nightwalkers? Nope. – These CR nightmares are like walking voids of death, and not in a metaphorical way. Dark Powers are... mysterious? – Like your crush from high school who only wore black and spoke in riddles. Char, Queen of Shadow – She's hot, terrifying, and probably has a playlist full of Evanescence. Shadowfell Tourism – Visit Evernight! Stay at the Tower of Loss! Bring your own light source and will to live. D&D needs better horror monsters – Less "zombie #87", more “this thing screams in your brain and smells like your mom's regret.” Understanding the Shadowfell makes games richer – Misery loves roleplay.

    In this encore episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support the intestinal mucosa, while highlighting the intestinal epithelium and immune cells in the lamina propria. Through this, we further detail the role of regulatory T cells in supporting immune balance and modulating immune function.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer: mucins, antimicrobial peptides, secretory IgA.- Mucus layer provides physical and biochemical protection.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- Molecules crossing the epithelium. - Disruption of tight junctions, immune cell exposure to luminal contents.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance while defending against pathogens.  4. Vitamin D's Role in Barrier Support and Immune Modulation - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more.- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and immune balance.   5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃- D₃ (cholecalciferol) is more biologically effective and binds DBP more strongly.  6.

    John and Craig welcome author Stu Horvath to look at the rich history of tabletop role playing games. From Stu's collection of over 2300 RPGs, they look at the evolution of collaborative storytelling, interactive narrative design, and the communities of players they inspire. We also discuss the complicated influences of J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft on the world of D&D, and how the need to escape their derivative influences pushed RPGs to new heights of world-building and storytelling. In our bonus segment for premium members, Stu leads us down down down to discuss a surprisingly recent narrative staple: dungeons.
