Heroes Rise
We're a show all about D&D. Each week we will bring you our take on the latest news from Wizards of the Coast (and the wider D&D circles), along with advice for players and DMs of all skills and abilities, as well as reviews of some of our favourite apps, books and other tools to help you with your games. So, if you’re a brand new player taking your first steps into the world of Dungeons and Dragons and just looking for some helpful advice, or you’ve Dungeon Mastered for so long you can still recite the THAC0 tables without looking, we’re sure to have something for you.
