About Build a Bard Workshop
A podcast that creates characters for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition! The goal is not necessarily to make the most efficient build, but to make an interesting one from a random race, class and subclass. Join Steve and Simon for weekly builds and discussions around D&D, character creation, roleplaying, and occasional input from Frodo the pod-dog! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.

Fire Genasi Barbarian (Path of the Storm Herald)
Just a quick note - we are running behind on our schedule due to problems with editing Simon's RSI, the summer heat affecting how often the upstairs of his house is bearable, and both of us massively going over time in the second half. The RSI is under management, the heat will soon be gone, and we have agreed from this recording onwards to try and be a bit tighter in the second half. So it should get back to the regular Friday release schedule just in time for the end of the first season.

BONUS - 4th edition
A short, 20 minute discussion on 4th edition, and why we sometimes talk about it the way we do.
