Description:

The march up the undead titan continues, and it means Vox Machina is getting closer to the end.  There is some epic level dungeon crawling afoot.  It’s nice to see the party wading into danger, traps, and adventure again.  It feels like a great appetizer before the main course.  Is it a course anyone wants to eat?  Probably not, but Vecna calls, and VM must do something to save the world, again.

This is a great look at how a group tackles an epic level dungeon.  Everyone should be taking notes on resource management, and how to deal with traps & puzzles.  It’d be interesting to see if this is the same across all epic level groups.  Regardless, it seems that Vox Machina has indulged all the distractions they can; every step they take is one step closer to the top.  Vecna awaits, and they are making their way to him.

Question of the Week look at the epic level trap Vox Machina faced and asks whether all epic level traps should be deadly?  Give us your vote and opinion, and let us know what you think of the epic level encounters.

Question of the Week looks at epic level D&D and traps. Should epic level traps be lethal or should they just harass? #DnD #CriticalRole

Shout outs this week go to some amazingly talented artists.  The first goes to Foxwit and this great portrait of Gilmore.  You can just see the confidence oozing off the page.  It’s a great moment captured in portrait, you only see from the neck up, but you immediately can see his body position, his swagger, and that Glorious Goods charm that he leverages against everyone.  This is a fantastic representation of Gilmore, and it could easily be a character design in Dream Daddy.  Thank you for the wonderful portrait, Foxwit.

Felt like a bit of fanart to take a break from my DnD guys… I just like Gilmore, okay?? </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Total Play: </td> <td></td> <td> 0 </td> </tr> </table> </form> <audio controls autoplay style= Your browser does not support the audio element.
