D&DeBrief episode 005 - Crabs in White Satin
Summary: This session sees Marcel rejoining the group. They sneakily make their way to the standing stones where several half-crab half-man creatures are in the midst of performing a ritual. Combat ensues and the ritual is interrupted, but not before Axley and Khonnos get covered in goop, again! What does a captured half-crab-man tell the group? What do they find in the middle of the standing stones?
Debrief: The team ends the episode with more discussion of theater of the mind and having helpful sketches, but not tactical maps, available during the game. Also discussed... the value of having overlapping areas of expertise between different PCs, using spells for interesting effects (breaking concentration), and is there a difference between a history check and a memory check? Can you use a perception check to remember something?

The Tome Show is proud to host the DnDeBrief podcast! Here is episode 002 - Does Anybody Have A Dinghy?
Our brave heroes leave the lighthouse and find a gruff Dwarven dock watch officer. He isn't the most friendly of people, but he lets them exploit a loophole that nets them a ship of their own! But first they have to tow it to the shore, get it into drydock, and start cleaning all of the blue painted eyes off of the deck and repair the leaks... if only they knew a shipwright!

The Tome Show is proud to host the DnDeBrief podcast! Here is episode 001 - Eye of the Storm
Meet our brave heroes in this first episode of D&Debrief! In the first half of this episode DM Samuel hosts a session 0 character creation activity! After a quick introduction to the setting, we meet the PCs. First we find out about Ashaz "Ash" Whitemane, a Tabaxi Rogue who spent most of his young life stowed away on a cargo ship. We also introduce Emmeryn, a Human Cleric of Goras who has spent the past months trying to figure out the secret of The Sinking. And lastly we get to know Axley Tillingquest, a Halfling Bard who is destined to write the greatest epic story ever told... and a cookbook.
In the second half of the episode the lighthouse keeper's daughter tasks our heroes with finding out if her father is alive and well. While investigating they witness strange movement on the beach. The group comes upon a consortium of crabs - the mealy, rotting beasts are eating something disgusting on the beach! A strange eye-like symbol embroidered on a sailor's tunic, a half sunken ship, and a scrap of paper with a mysterious name leave the group with more questions than answers!
