No, really, that’s the plot! Auril, the Frostmaiden, has blocked out the sun over Icewind Dale, save for four hours of twilight each day. It’s a story about climate catastrophe, but going down the thermometer, set in the Forgotten Realms. I’ve also been part of a first-look review of Rime on the Tome Show, along with Enrique “NewbieDM” Bertran and Jeff Greiner. […]

We have the barbarian Path of the Beast, the monk Way of Mercy, the paladin Oath of the Watchers, and the warlock Noble Genie Patron. I am excited to dive into this!

It’s hard to believe it has already been five years. Tribality only started in October 2014, so we didn’t even publish a review of HotDQ. Today, Wizards of the Coast is taking the opportunity to re-release the epic Tyranny of Dragons storyline as a single special volume.

It runs from 1st level to 13th. This review includes spoilers. This is your only warning. The book is organized with the five chapters of the adventure first, followed by a […]
