This week I have a roundtable discussion with players from my D&D campaign, Blood of the Avatars, that recently ended. Brett, Craig, and Sam join me to discuss our experiences with the end of the campaign, both as players and GM. We talk about our experience with having a character who goes evil within a good aligned party. There's a lot that can go wrong there, but Manny played Lerissa's descent very well, and all the players handled the situation perfectly. This is as much on the players as the GM, but if you want to know how it can work and come out awesome, our campaign is a great example of it done well. Finally, we talk about the end of the campaign and the final battle. The players give their perceptions on how it all turned out. We talk about what is needed to make the ending of such a long campaign truly satisfying. There are definitely things I could've done better, and we discuss that, so as I always say at the top of the show, you can learn from my mistakes, or at least things I could've done differently and/or better.Check out my sci-fi novel, Critical Balance.Have you read Critical Balance?

From driving forklifts in his family's warehouse to steering a billion-pound global business and captivating audiences as a Dragon on Dragons' Den, this week's guest, Tej Lalvani, is the meaning of entrepreneurial grit and innovation. As CEO of Vitabiotics, the UK's largest vitamin company, Tej has expanded the brand to over 100 countries, turning products like Wellwoman, Perfectil, and Pregnacare into household names. However it hasn't been a straightforward journey and he even shares how, as a child, Tej moved around so much with schools that he couldn't do basic maths - proof that early setbacks don't define long-term success. In this episode, Tej shares his journey from moving from India to the UK and adapting to a new culture, to working alongside his father and learning the lessons that helped build Vitabiotics into a global powerhouse. He reveals the true meaning of sales, what it really takes to be an entrepreneur and his path to becoming a Dragon - including what happens after the cameras stop rolling. Tej also explores the skills every founder needs, the three things a Dragon must hear before investing and why so many people are leaving the UK for Dubai now that he spends a lot of his time here. Whether you're building your first business or pitching for investment, this conversation is packed with insights, candid stories and practical wisdom from one of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs. 3:30 Moving from India to UK 15:00 Being an entrepreneur and what sales is really about 20:48 Becoming a Dragon 31:50 What happens once you invest on Dragons Den? 40:55 Knowing your skills and what value you can bring 47:30 Vitabiotics products and the challenges with longevity medicine and treatments 54:00 Dubai vs UK - Why are people leaving the UK for Dubai 1:07:00 What 3 things does a dragon need to hear to invest 1:11:40 First thing you need to do to be an entrepreneur Show Sponsors: AYS Developers: A design-focused company dedicated to crafting exceptional homes, vibrant communities, and inspiring lifestyle experiences. https://bit.ly/AYS-Developers Allsopp & Allsopp: Redefining real estate, through cutting-edge technology and setting new standards for seamless, elevated customer experience.

Nous sommes au Ve siècle avant J.C., en Chine, dans l'état de Lu. Dans ce que l'on appelle le « Commentaire de Zuo », attribué à un certain Zuo Qiuming, il est fait mention d'un lien unissant un homme à un dragon. Le lettré, contemporain de Confucius, raconte qu'un nommé Dongfu appréciant les dragons et ayant la capacité de comprendre leur volonté, est parvenu à les apprivoiser et à les élever avec succès. C'est ainsi qu'il rentre au service de l'empereur Shun, qui lui attribue le nom de Huanlong, signifiant « éleveur de dragons ». Dans une autre histoire, c'est l'empereur Kong Jia qui, en récompense de son obéissance au dieu du ciel, reçoit deux dragons, l'un mâle, l'autre femelle. Toutefois, ne parvenant pas à les dompter, il engage un dresseur nommé Liulei, qui a appris son art auprès de Huanlong. Malheureusement, un jour, la dragonne passe à trépas. Liulei décide alors de la débiter, il la taille en menus morceaux qu'il cuisine et sert au roi. Celui-ci est aux anges : il raffole tant du repas qu'il réclame du rab ! Mais, l'infortuné Liulei, ne pouvant se procurer davantage de cette viande, est contraint de fuir le palais. Partons sur les traces des dragons, de l'Afrique aux Amériques, de la Sibérie à la Grèce, du paléolithique à nos jours … Avec nous : Julien D'Huy, docteur en histoire, spécialiste des mythes. « Dragon – Généalogie mondiale d'un mythe » ; Armand Colin.

In this wandering dissection of the 2025 Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set, the hosts circle through memory and mechanics, weighing cardboard against imagination, and finding, amid the tokens and rules, not a doorway into wonder but the echo of all the starter sets that came before, fuller, deeper, better. Starter Set: Heroes of the Borderlands (affiliate link) Randall has written Melancon, a novella that lingers like the dusk on a Southern porch, where memory and shadow wrestle in the same long sentence; you will read it in print upon Amazon, or hear it carried on Ash's voice in the audiobook, the cadence of the tale winding as though the story itself remembered you before you found it. Read Melancon: A Grimoire Tale (affiliate link) Show Notes There is a starter set, and though the box is new, the echoes within are old, older than dice or leveling mechanics, older than the crafting of character sheets and the fragile permanence of tokens, and it bears the mark of Wizards of the Coast as if that brand were a lineage stretching back to the dim histories of Dungeons and Dragons, and we, who have seen the 2024 starter set, the 2014, the 1983, and all the ones before that, sit and hold this one in our hands and feel the weight of it, and the hollowness, too. The hosts circle round like storytellers on a porch, voices interwoven, sometimes bantering, sometimes harsh in judgment, and they speak of game mechanics, of adventure design, of character creation, and of the difference between a board game's bones and the living marrow of a tabletop RPG. And as they speak, one sees the ghost of better boxes, more cohesive adventure modules, more patient stories. There is praise for the components—tokens and maps, the paper like a relic of promises—but criticism too, for what is an adventure review if not an elegy for what might have been? The adventure structure is straight as an arrow and as empty, the plot like a house without rooms, and though it may shelter the new player, it does not nourish them. And so the tale winds: the physical versus digital experience, the cruel disappointment of shallow design, the lingering hope that future offerings may redeem this one. It is the story of a set that wanted to be Dungeons & Dragons, but settled, instead, for something less. Key Takeaways The 2025 D&D Starter Set carries the name but not the soul of its predecessors; the history of D&D starter sets looms over it like a shadow. Its adventure modules are linear and lack the depth that breathes life into role-playing games. Though the physical components—tokens, sheets, crafted bits of board-game echo—serve their purpose, they cannot mask the thinness of the adventure design. Character creation and leveling mechanics receive mention but not reverence; they are steps without dance. The box is priced like a promise (“a $50 product”) but delivers less than it should. The hosts weigh the player experience and declare that better paths exist for those beginning their journey into Dungeons and Dragons. In comparing starter sets, the verdict is clear: this one feels less like a gateway into wonder and more like a door that does not open all the way. And so if you have followed us through this wandering road of tokens and rules and promises unkept, then carry it further: share this podcast with the ones at your own table, let them hear our voices as you have, and rate and review us upon the great digital ledgers—Apple Podcasts, Spotify, all the places where stories are measured not in pages but in stars and numbers—so that others, lost or searching, may stumble into this circle of talk and stay a while.

Let's Think About "Dragons" With Special Guest Chris Otcasek Chris shares his thoughts on dragons, reminding people that mythical creatures may have roamed the earth in a manner different from what we know them today. While learning about Chris, we discussed his findings on how dragons and how he wants people to consider the possibilities that many academics choose to overlook. This episode aims to prompt thought. To stay in touch, please visit Chris's podcast at https://sidewaysview.podbean.com/ to learn more about him. Want to hear about another conversation we had? Please listen to "Let's Think About Laughing at Yourself and The World."
Mythical and magical creatures are a staple of the fantasy genre, sometimes as obstacles for heroes to face, sometimes as healers and dispensers of wisdom, sometimes fulfilling roles both stranger and more mundane. If you decide to include such beasties in your world, what are they doing there? And how deep you delve into the biology and ecology of these creatures? Do you need to make them make some sort of scientific sense, or can everything be covered by "it's magic"? We also recap our Seattle WorldCon experience! So listen to hear about our panels, our amazing outfits, and losing a Hugo Award, again. [Transcript for Episode 163 -- With thanks to our scribes!]

In this week's episode of Dungeons & Dragons pirate adventure, the Bucs reach the towering black wall and attempt the impossible, only to unleash chaos that defies reason. Failed flights, falling lizards, and desperate spells crack open a storm of wild magic, leaving Milo transformed into a kaleidoscope of horrors while Keth suffers blow after blow from fate itself. With unicorns, potted plants, and exploding seagulls littering the deck, the crew learns one undeniable truth. What lies beyond the wall's shadow? Can Milo survive his own magic? And will the Bucs ever risk touching the wall again? There's only one way to find out, grab your Dnd Dice, join Tom (Keth), Paul (Milo), Alex (Derek), Chip (Jeff), and Sophie (River), led by James (the Dungeon Master) and Roll Britannia.

What could we gain—and what might we lose—when technology begins to approximate the contours of human connection and presence? In this episode, Reid and Aria chat with comedian, actor, and political commentator Stephen Colbert. Best known for hosting The Colbert Report and The Late Show, Stephen combines a razor sharp satire with a sincere curiosity about the world. Together, Reid, Aria, and Stephen discuss the art of live performance, the many lessons one can learn from J.R.R. Tolkien, and the nature of creativity, humor, and imagination in the age of AI. The result is a meditation on discovery, empathy, and the bonds that make connection more than performance — but a shared act of being human.

Tolkien Robert Heinlein Possible is an award-winning podcast that sketches out the brightest version of the future—and what it will take to get there. Most of all, it asks: what if, in the future, everything breaks humanity's way? Tune in for grounded and speculative takes on how technology—and, in particular, AI—is inspiring change and transforming the future. Hosted by Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger, each episode features an interview with an ambitious builder or deep thinker on a topic, from art to geopolitics and from healthcare to education. These conversations also showcase another kind of guest: AI. Each episode seeks to enhance and advance our discussion about what humanity could possibly get right if we leverage technology—and our collective effort—effectively.

Here at D&SD Over the Summer on Wednesdays we will be releasing some of our cool side campaign episodes! This series is called “The Playa Rose” is a western campaign DM'd by our Very own Andrew Kornblatt. Serpentine Visions and Restless Sleep After collecting their thoughts and taking shelter for the night, the party experiences a disturbing development. During the deep hours before dawn, Marshal and Morgan are afflicted by strange, unsettling dreams that leave them with restless, broken sleep. Both of their unique nightmares end with the same terrifying image: a snake-like figure with piercing yellow eyes. The next morning finds them gathered around a table in Mona's saloon, sharing their troubling visions and debating their next course of action. The dreams seem connected to their investigation, suggesting supernatural forces are taking an active interest in their activities. They must decide whether to seek out the mysterious "table witch" mentioned by the gravedigger, investigate the Dragonborn tribe that Floyd had been studying, or pursue another lead entirely. From Floyd's journals, Morgan and Consuela learn more about his relationship with the local Dragonborn tribe and his growing concerns about Laurentine's mining operations. The scientist's notes reveal his frustration with the Dragonborn's initial coldness and distrust, their treatment by eastern settlers, and his gradual friendship with a tribal member named Krish. That's the end of our Playa Rose Summer Release. Want to hear the rest?

Some hauntings announce themselves with slamming doors and violent screams. Others creep in quietly, folding themselves into the rhythm of your life until you can't tell where the ordinary ends and the extraordinary begins. This is a true story of one woman's experience with real hauntings in Iceland — encounters so chilling they blur the line between life and death. When she and her boyfriend moved into a small apartment, the first sign was subtle: a spirit that copied voices. She heard her boyfriend speaking and even felt him sit on the bed — only for him to walk in minutes later from outside. Soon, the ghost mimicked her friend's invented Dungeons & Dragons character, proving it wasn't just her imagination. The activity grew bolder after they bought an older house. There, she heard phantom children running upstairs, witnessed hair-pulling from unseen hands, and even spotted a ghost kitten she named Julia walking across her bed. Friends agreed the home felt strangely warm, yet the nights told a different story: relentless clicking light switches, phantom music, and voices on phone calls when she was home alone. This isn't just a ghost story. It's a real haunting that follows her wherever she goes — voices, visions, apparitions, and even impossible flames. Because the haunting isn't bound to a place. It's bound to her. And stories like these don't let go. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealHaunting #Ghosts #Apparitions #ShadowPeople #GhostVoices #ParanormalActivity #CreepyEncounters #GhostStories #UnexplainedMysteries #HauntedIceland #ParanormalStories Love real ghost stories?
