Lolth's Not Your Mom, But She's Definitely Disappointed in You Follow Ash Ely on social media for more tabletop mischief, hot takes, and behind-the-scenes RPGBOT energy. Want to do more than just listen? You can play in his games directly—Ash runs tables on StartPlaying.games where you can sign up, roll dice, and probably regret trusting that one suspicious NPC he voices just a little too well. Show Notes In this Spooktober installment, Tyler, Randall, and Ash descend into the Underdark to talk about everyone's favorite spider-themed frenemies: the drow. But don't expect a simple “they're all evil” hot take—this conversation is about how to use drow effectively and responsibly at the table. Highlights include: History lesson (with bite): From Scottish folklore to Gygax's caverns, the word “drow” has been through some things. The big problem: Why “evil by biology” is lazy design and a headache for modern tables. The fix: Treat drow as cultures, factions, and ideologies rather than one-note villains. Tactics and terror: How to make them scary with ambushes, traps, lair design, and coordinated squads instead of tired stereotypes. DM toolbox: Drow of the Underdark (3.5e) for rich lore and mechanical bits. Keith Ammann's The Monsters Know What They're Doing and MOAR for tactical framing. The RPGBOT Masterclass on How to Defend Your Lair for designing unforgettable encounters. Adventure seeds: Trade cartels, perpetual-darkness devices, and drow coup-plots that give your players moral choices beyond “roll initiative.” RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 How to Defend Your Lair with Keith Ammann – RPGBOT.Masterclass S2E95 Other Stuff Drow of the Underdark (3.5) (affiliate link) MOAR The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) The Monsters Know What They're Doing (affiliate link) Key Takeaways Scary ≠ racist: Make drow terrifying by leaning on culture, politics, and goals—not skin color or species.

Budowa polskiej elektrowni atomowej to projekt, o którym w Polsce mówi się od kilkudziesięciu lat. Mimo tylu lat, uruchomienie pierwszego reaktora w latach 30. stoi pod znakiem zapytania. Skąd ten paraliż i opóźnienia projektu? Jak wygląda historia budowy elektrowni atomowej w III RP? Jakie jest podejście obecnej władzy do tego projektu? Jakich dostawców technologii powinniśmy wybrać?

We pick back up with the party visiting Arguile's contact, the Shade, again to negotiate the terms of the deal for Galahad's belt. After this, the group returns to see Mr. Strauss, who asks Arguile if he would like to see Dorna to confirm his truthfulness. There is a momentary pause as Dorna turns to where Yurik has presented the party, as she drops her tea cup, leaps over the couch, and embraces Arguile. Mother and son reunited, the two are relieved to have found each other after such a long time, but question how it is that they could be so close to each other and miss one another for all that time. When the name Enich gets mentioned, there is a long, awkward pause from the group as they try to delicately determine if Yurik's Enich is (or isn't) Enich, Arguile's alternate, AND the Skin Flayer. Thankfully, there's a confirmation that they are, in fact, two different people, and with that, the group lets out a massive sigh of relief. After the two catch up, Arguile introduces the team to his mother, and Dorna takes the opportunity to share fond memories of a younger Arguile to everyone's enjoyment, especially Zechs. Shanks grabs Arguile for a second to confirm that the stone from Arioch is still showing a number, despite finding his mother safe, which it is. Shanks reads the written recount of the siege of Ors Themar by Commander Valen. It was a grim and seemingly unending fight that saw the Drow face to face with the horrors of fiends that poured into the city. With that, the group rides to find Enich with Yurik. Unfortunately, on the way, they find themselves caught in a loop. They come up to a house in a clearing, and despite traveling away from it for some time, they find themselves back at it. This happens a few times before they decide to stop and investigate the strange occurrence. It's at this point that Turk, accompanied by Arguile and Zechs, approaches the home to find an older woman who greets them. Everyone is wary and suspicious, but they meet and speak with the overly friendly woman. Zechs sends Duo out to check if the loop continues, which he confirms doesn't, and with that, the group decides to bail as quickly as they came and continue to Ors Themar, to the other horrors that await them there. Or so they think...There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!

Gościem najnowszego odcinka podcastu Raport Międzynarodowy jest Piotr Opaliński, były ambasador RP w Pakistanie, a wcześniej zastępca ambasadora Polski w Indiach i chargé d'affaires RP w Bangladeszu. Rozmowa poświęcona była rzecz jasna najnowszemu konfliktowi indyjsko-pakistańskiemu i próbie odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy może on przekształcić się w pełnoskalową wojnę.   Prowadzący Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz rozpoczęli rozmowę od sprawy obowiązującego systemu politycznego w obu państwach. Ambasador Opaliński stwierdził, że Indii Nehru i Gandhiego już nie ma, poziom nacjonalizmu w tym kraju jest wprost niebywały. W wypadku Pakistanu, który podobnie jak Indie jest formalnie demokracją, rządzi tak naprawdę armia. Jak zauważył dyplomata, istnieje nawet powiedzenie, że są państwa, które mają armię, a w Pakistanie to armia ma państwo. W tym kontekście pojawiła się oczywiście też kwestia instytucji ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence), czyli pakistańskich służb specjalnych, które według wielu obserwatorów tak naprawdę są tą organizacją, która faktycznie nadaje ton polityce nie tylko zagranicznej, lecz także wewnętrznej.   Przy okazji rozmowy o systemie politycznym pojawiła się też kwestia stosunku klas wyższych do biedoty. Z wypowiedzi ambasadora Opalińskiego wynikało, że zarówno Indie, jak i Pakistan, pod tym względem fundamentalnie różnią się od państw europejskich. Prowadzący podcast pytali gościa, czy tradycyjny sposób patrzenia na Indie jako państwo bliskie Rosji, a Pakistan jako bliski Stanom Zjednoczonym, jest jeszcze aktualny. Piotr Opaliński stwierdził, że istotnie w Indiach czuje się sympatię w stosunku do Moskwy, ale ich polityka zagraniczna jest już typowa dla państwa aspirującego do roli co najmniej mocarstwa regionalnego. Nie można też zapominać o czynniku chińskim, który jest szczególnie istotny w przypadku Pakistanu. Opisując praprzyczyny konfliktu o Kaszmir, Piotr Opaliński odnotował ekstremizm politycznych skrajnych ugrupowań hinduistycznych, które w istocie prześladują muzułmanów w Indiach, ale też fundamentalistów muzułmańskich w Pakistanie, którzy za wroga uważają nie tylko Indie, lecz także samo państwo pakistańskie.   W dalszej części podcastu Witold Jurasz i Zbigniew Parafianowicz pytali Piotra Opalińskiego, czy obecny konflikt będzie taki jak pierwsze trzy wojny Indii z Pakistanem, czy też skończy się jak w przypadku wojny Kargilskiej – na ograniczonej w skali wymianie ciosów? Piotr Opaliński wskazał na podstawowy problem jakichkolwiek potyczek zbrojnych między rzeczonymi państwami, jakim jest fakt, iż kraje te dysponują bronią nuklearną, przy czym próg jej użycia jest niestety dość niski. Pozostając w temacie nuklearnego arsenału, Zbigniew Parafianowicz spytał o bezpieczeństwo broni jądrowej w rękach Indii i Pakistanu. Czy możliwe jest, że w razie kryzysu państwa pakistańskiego mogłaby ona wpaść w ręce ugrupowań fundamentalistycznych? 

The party gears up to return to the temple and brave the elemental nodes in order to gain the jewels needed to complete the Orb of Power.  Featuring: Steve- GM Sylric Tarym, an Elf Squidder "Bagpipes" Cutbait, a Human Bard Dhagmark, Dwarven Cleric of Morodin Baltana, a Drow thief  Timpani, a Drow ranger Music: Action and Adventure by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

✨ Shadowbinders Pin Set Campaign - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nydaria/shadowbinders-steampunk-fantasy-hard-enamel-pin-set-series-1 The times, they are a changing. The 'black face' episode of Community, "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons", has quietly been returned to streaming.

The year is 1501 DR. The last hundred years have been an endless procession of apocalypse: The Time of Troubles. The Spellplague. The Wailing Years. The Great Rain. The Second Sundering. The Weave itself has nearly collapsed almost three times, held together only by the efforts of reckless archmages, tireless in the face of the cyclical death and rebirth of the goddess of magic. The rules of divinity have barely held stable over this hundred years of conflict, maintaining a tense peace, with the gods content to remain aloof from the material plane. At least for now, perhaps. For the mortals of Faerun, however, yet another calamity has befallen them. Three adventurers gather in the basement of the Fat Tail to discuss the unthinkable: a god has been slain, its rotting corpse decaying into salt off the coast of Daggerford. Faced with a monumental power vacuum, will they be able to uphold the fragile truce between the divine planes ⸺ or will their efforts ignite an all-out war?
