L010 - Legend Lore - Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen
Tuesday Dec 27, 2022
Tuesday Dec 27, 2022
This episode of Legend Lore covers the newest publication from Wizards of the Coast, Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen. But with an optional board game, a small lore and history section, and a level 1-10 adventure contained, is this a complete product, so another Spelljammer debacle? Join one Dungeon Master as he sits down and goes chapter-by-chapter through what the book has to offer to determine if it is a hit or a miss.

Tuesday Dec 20, 2022
Tuesday Dec 20, 2022
What's the difference between a Lair and a Home? And how do you go about designing Lair Actions for your BBEG? In Dan's last episode of the Campaign Builder, he and Adam settle into their old routine to bring their experience and creativity to one of the most interesting mechanics of 5th Edition.
Takeaways:
- Regional Effects and Lair Actions have similar themes but very different functions
- Every lair should have a personality and logic to itself
- There should be a reason for everything within a lair
- Ensure that the players can feel that they are in enemy territory
