D&D Out of the Abyss Notes 83 thumbnail

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #83 – The City of Spiders / Against the Demon Lords

THIS IS IT! “Against the Demon Lords”! The final, ultimate showdown with the nasty big two-headed baddy! Will Demogorgon prevail and the Abyss fall to Lolth, or will our brave heroes manage to save the day? Either way, can they survive a betrayed Vizeran’s wrath? Four demon lords throw down at the Tower of Vengeance! Surprise help from a powerful friend as he reveals a big secret! Not all wands are worth wielding. Wave goodbye. Epilogue at Gauntlgrym, where King Bruenor metes out what the party deserves (in some cases posthumously). Shane discusses confusing timing on the last encounters of Out of the Abyss. How tall is Demogorgon, anyway? What does the Dark Heart talisman look like, anyway? Guards and Wards spell. Does Confusion cause loss of spell concentration? Mean party members and NPCs. The (in) famous DM blue bolt. Alcohol at the game table.

This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.

Each video follows the most recent session with his group.

Footnotes added to Podcast version of show:

  • In Traveller, just like in reality, space is big. Really big. Really, really big. To get an idea, go to https://travellermap.com/
  • Classic Traveller is “hard sci-fi” of the 70s and early 80s. Computers were huge and home computers weren’t a widespread thing, no internet, etc. For example: Some ship schematics have large area for computers.
  • Lack of faster than light communications led to a more feudal / regional governmental system throughout the empire
  • Weapons run the range from rocks to firearms to lasers. Daggers and knives are still very common because you don’t want to use lasers or bullets on a ship
  • Ships usually carried a lot of sand. If enemy ships appeared, they could drop sand that would act as chaff / defense against lasers
  • No hit points, damage is deducted from attributes
  • Similar attributes to D&D, however instead of Wisdom and Charisma there was Education and
  • Social Standing. Those could be codified, where the other two are more subjective
  • No experience, no levels… advancement is through wealth, status, etc.
  • Skills CAN be changed during adventuring by going back college or joining the military, etc. Or the Imperium goes to war and veterans get called back to service.
  • Certain attributes can be changed during play… for example you marry into nobility
  • They chose six siders because people already had them at home and would not need to buy polyhedrals
  • Traveller appealed to David when he was younger because it cost less than the D&D books

Nik’s recommendations for new anime watchers:

  • Mob Psycho 100
  • Great Teacher Onizuka

Brent’s recommendations for new anime watchers:

  • That Time I Got Reincarnated Into A Slime
  • Made in the Abyss – Brent’s reasoning (did not make it into broadcast or Krypton Radio version of show due to time constraints): It’s genre breaking, very focused on story and the the opposite kind of show than Dragon Ball to demonstrate the storytelling range in anime. Very cool visuals. Not recommended for kids.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Debate with Timothy Lim on the Dave Elswick Show – Shane Plays Podcast Extra

Podcast Extra:
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Debate with Timothy Lim on the Dave Elswick Show

Highlights: Is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse just a fun movie or a cultural attack jam packed with social conditioning and ideological dog whistles? Listen to a spirited discussion (in truth, more of a debate without formal rebuttals) between Shane and comics artist / bunny-lover-in-chief Timothy Lim as we each present our opposed perspectives. Includes some fun general movie discussion at the end. Recorded during the December 21, 2018 Dave Elswick Show on 101.1 FM The Answer in Little Rock.

Special thanks to Dave for the opportunity to podcast a portion of his show.
