Podcasts about treants

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests ventured deep into Yutsushige forest in search of a cure-all moss that supposedly grew on the roots of a "Weeping Sequoia". Along the way, the party discovered that they were going in circles despite Moriko's ability to know which way wasn't North and decided to take a rest before trying again. Some time during the last watch, the group was separated by a trio of Treants who wished to test them and see if they were worthy of being allowed so deep within their territory. Passing with flying colors, the Tempests were permitted entry into the Treant's Grove, their most sacred area. Lakin took charge and waded across the small lake to retrieve the moss they had come for while the others spoke with Ironroot, the leader of the Treants, to see what they were doing about the blight ravaging the country. Ironroot revealed that the blight had not yet encroached very far into their territory and was therefore, none of their concern.  - Once the moss was collected, the Tempests were escorted from the forest with a few gifts given to them by the Treants and were given permission to visit whenever they pleased. Once again, the Tempests hit the road and then realized that they had no idea WHERE or WHO they needed to deliver the moss to (and Tanaka was of no help either). Choosing to head towards the far Western part of the Kudong Harbor, Dragon's Shore, they worked their way East until they found where they needed to be: Calm Water Piers. Reaching the border between the two regions, they encountered a "dead zone" where the Redguard had evacuated a wide stretch of the village to keep the disease from spreading.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

In this companion episode to #51, Sarah and Sidney guide you through more archetypes in SBB currently - Great Pumpkin, Animals, Treants, Dwarves, and more! Our goal is that these episodes be beginner-friendly, so if you're new to the game, this is a great place to start. We cover the paths into playing each archetype, the endgame builds, alternate builds, and common pitfalls. We also discuss the place each of these compositions occupies in the current metagame. One note about Treants that didn't make it into the episode - a common mistake when building this archetype is picking up the pieces out of order. Burn Beard generally isn't worth buying without an Ashwood Elm, and Echowood generally isn't worth buying without both an Ashwood Elm and a Burn Beard. Join in the conversation on the Book of Heroes Discord, or give us a shout on Twitter! You can also email us at bookofheroessbb@gmail.com.

Treants… mighty protectors of the forest. Although Treants don't care much for violence, they don't take kindly to forest abusers. In this episode we'll don a Treant's bark and feel the forest's allure. We'll join a Treant in deep contemplation and determine the do's and don'ts of entering a magical forest. If you're a DM and want to teach your players to respect nature, then take a seat by the fire and prepare to be immersed in Treant Lore. Your players won't ever again chop down a tree without asking first. Happy listening!

The Hobbit first came to Oxford University professor J.R.R. Tolkien when he was grading papers in the early 1930s. Coming upon a blank page in an exam book, he suddenly wrote “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” Tolkien worked on The Hobbit for the next several years before submitting it for publication in 1936 as a children’s book to George Allen & Unwin, then known mainly as an academic publishing house. The publisher Stanley Unwin paid his ten-year-old son Rayner a shilling to review the manuscript, which he reported on as follows: "Bilbo Baggins was a Hobbit who lived in his Hobbit hole and never went for adventures, at last Gandalf the wizard and his Dwarves persuaded him to go. He had a very exiting (sic) time fighting goblins and wargs. At last they get to the lonely mountain; Smaug, the dragon who guards it is killed and after a terrific battle with the goblins he returned home — rich! This book, with the help of maps, does not need any illustrations it is good and should appeal to all children between the ages of 5 and 9." Young Rayner Unwin’s recommendation convinced his father to publish The Hobbit in hardcover in 1937, to strong sales and critical acclaim. Stanley Unwin asked Tolkien for a sequel to The Hobbit as early as December 1937, a request that would take over 15 years to come to fruition as The Lord of the Rings. During that long process, Tolkien would revise The Hobbit for the first time to bring it into closer agreement with developments in The Lord of the Rings, especially in the depiction of Gollum and the One Ring. Although The Hobbit had been available in the U.S. from 1938 in hardcover, it had not been published in U.S. paperback by the mid 1960s, partly because of Tolkien’s distaste for the “degenerate” paperback format. This all changed when Ace Books put out an unauthorized U.S. paperback edition of The Lord of the Rings in 1965 after finding what they perceived to be a copyright loophole. Ballantine Books rushed to put out authorized U.S. paperback editions of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit in 1965. Tolkien made additional revisions to both works both for his own satisfaction and to cement their U.S. copyright status, with The Hobbit’s third edition appearing in 1966. The most common version of The Hobbit available during the Appendix N era would have been the 45th printing and onwards of the Ballantine Books revised paperback, featuring a lovely watercolor cover illustration by Tolkien himself of Bilbo’s escape from Mirkwood astride a barrel. Gary Gygax denied that Tolkien’s works were a particular influence on the development of Dungeons & Dragons, but he certainly would have been conscious of the desire of prospective players to experience the trappings of Middle-earth. Many denizens of Middle-earth including Hobbits, Ents, Orcs, and Balrogs were present in the “Fantasy Supplement” of Chainmail (1971), Gary Gygax’s medieval miniatures wargame that was the immediate predecessor to Dungeons & Dragons. The Tolkienian references continued in Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson’s original Dungeons & Dragons (1974) box set until the Tolkien estate caught wind of this. To avoid copyright and trademark violations, TSR modified or removed Tolkienian references from Chainmail and Dungeons & Dragons in 1977, with Hobbits becoming Halflings, Ents becoming Treants, and Balrogs becoming Type VI Demons, etc.
