Heroic Round Podcast

Welcome to the Heroic Roundtable Side Quest! In this recap show, we explore the deeper side of tabletop storytelling and do some some deep dives into burning questions about the latest episode of our actual play ttrpg podcast "A Wizards Folly."

First, we break down our latest level-up! From Mac's explosive new 4th-level spells to LS finally unlocking his 2nd-level spell slots, we're exploring exactly how character progression shapes our tactical options. Plus, we dive into a massive debate on leveling philosophy: Is milestone leveling better than tracking individual XP, and how do shorter, media-focused play sessions change the pacing of a classic campaign?

Whether you're a min-maxer or a flavor-first roleplayer, there’s plenty of table talk here for every Game Master and player.

Main Quest - Episode 32 "Don't Wake Grumpa" continues the first season of Heroic Round's actual play TTRPG podcast!
----

With Rowan delivered to Callista Fey and their dangerous bargain seemingly fulfilled, our heroes set their sights on a new goal: gathering the rare ingredients needed to cure the growing curses afflicting their companions.

Armed with Mama Vell's recipe and haunted by the consequences of their recent choices, the party leaves Briarberry behind and journeys toward Damon’s Retreat, where an old tower and a tranquil pond conceal new dangers.

There, they find Grumpa, the violent half of the two-headed ettin known as Granny and Grumpa. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Grumpa isn't interested in conversation.

As steel clashes with club and magic lights the waterside, the party must survive a brutal battle while continuing their search for the missing Foxtails. Meanwhile, questions linger: Has Callista truly released her hold on L.S.? Where have the Foxtails gone? And is Lola the dwarf still hiding somewhere in Briarberry?

Join us for giant-sized combat, questionable decisions, and another step deeper into the mysteries of Thornhaven Forest.

Main Quest - Episode 31 "Out of the Bag" continues the first season of Heroic Round's actual play TTRPG podcast "A Wizard's Folly"
Welcome!
----
After discovering the escaped messenger Rowan sneaking through Briarberry, our heroes uncover a chilling message from Lord Galen Thornhaven himself: all loyal soldiers are to return to the Thornfort immediately… and anyone suspected of treason is to be separated and captured.

With Sir Landon and the party now branded enemies of the realm, tensions rise across the village as fear and paranoia begin to spread.

But Rowan’s capture presents a dangerous problem. Determined to keep the message from reaching its destination, L.S. proposes a risky and deeply questionable solution involving a Bag of Holding… and the Fey goddess Callista’s sacred tree.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Briarberry, Lola the dwarf has mysteriously vanished yet again.

What exactly does L.S. have planned? And how long can the party avoid the wrath of the Greenman?

📖 THIS EPISODE
The group is feeling more like true heroes after saving wounded soldiers from the misguided clergy of the Church of Regret. However, those heroics are immediately called into question when Rowan, a messenger from the Thornfort, arrives.

All the frayed ends are starting to unravel for LS, Mac, and Flavius. Rowan’s letter reveals a shocking truth: in the eyes of the king, our heroes are wanted usurpers and spies.

* Will the heroes cave and take the easy way out with Rowan?
* Will they satisfy LS's dark deal with Callista?
* Will Briarberry turn on the group once they learn the "truth" coming from Lord Galen and the Thornfort?
