Let’s get into it.
Wild Beyond the Witchlight Begins with a Perfect 5E D&D Halloween Opening
Wild Beyond the Witchlight is the newest book for fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons and it has the most Studio Ghibli vibes I’ve seen in any book from Wizards of the Coast. Think Spirited Away for this one. Wild Beyond the Witchlight comes at the perfect time as it offers some major creepy carnival vibes. This 5E D&D adventure absolutely embraces everything witchy and spooky about the Feywild. When I tell you one of the best parts of the book is in the beginning, it’s no trick — this section is a treat.
Penny Dragon Games Unleashes a Horde of Horror for Halloween
By guest poster Ben Doherty, founder of Owlbear Press
*Inhales* Ahhh… Can you smell it? The sweet stench of decay? That magical time of year draws close. The leaves are falling from the trees. The dead are rising from their graves. Halloween, like a werewolf stalking in the moonlit night, is almost upon us. And you’d best be prepared. Stock up on supplies — bobbing apples, candy corn, and plenty of pumpkin spice — and barricade yourself inside, whether it’s a suburban home, a cabin in the woods, or your recently deceased estranged uncle’s castle. It’s time to get the gang together, formulate a survival plan… and play some D&D.
Take Hold of Whimsical 5E D&D Magic Items from Wild Beyond the Witchlight
Whether a new fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons book comprises a campaign adventure, a sourcebook full of new character options or an entire campaign setting one of the first things players look for are new magic items. We can’t help it! The siren’s call of exciting new 5E D&D magic items pulls us in and we imagine what our favorite characters would do with such treasures. Wild Beyond the Witchlight is no exception and while the whimsical and nostalgic adventure captivates 5E D&D players it’s those juicy magic items I’m taking a closer look at in this post. Let’s get into it.

Wild Beyond the Witchlight Adds Delightful 5E D&D Race Options

New character options always get players excited and in particular I appreciate linking new player content to broader material like a setting or adventure. Let’s hop into it.
This Manual of Monsters Might Save Your D&D Adventurer’s Life
Ever faced a Dungeons & Dragons tarrasque and lived? Do you even know what a tarrasque is in the D&D multiverse? I can assure you for any character regardless of level a tarrasque is quite terrifying, as not many adventures live to tell the tale of this mighty beast. Not to mention many D&D adventurers consider a tarrasque the most deadly creature within D&D. Intense, right? The best I can describe this behemoth is Godzilla mixed with a spot of an armadillo and a dragon. There are high level adventuring groups whose end goal involves facing and defeating the creature. I can only imagine a treasure hoard of this monstrosity the size of a five story building!
Crazy RPG Antics and Great Charisma on Display with The General Adventuring Company
Sometime ago Nerdarchist Dave interviewed a few members of The General Adventuring Company. Either I failed a Wisdom saving throw or they collectively passed a Charisma (Persuasion) check. However it happened, after Critical Role finished their second campaign I had an open game slot to watch. While I did watch Exandria Unlimited I still had more hours in my week to fill.

Quest RPG is Perfect for a Live Roleplay Stream and You’ll Never Guess Why
Recently on Nerdarchy Live we completed Ingest Quest 2, hosted by our own beloved Nerditor Doug. Quest RPG was the system powering our romp through culinary weird space and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit skeptical of this new system. However by the end of everything, I think Quest RPG is one of the best systems out there for running an entertaining game stream. Let’s explore some takeaways from the game and what Quest RPG does really well to make itself an ideal system for roleplay heavy groups and thus, conducive to a great stream game.
