I’m Mike, your DM and guide to all things dungeonesque and dragon-y. This episode is the end of season finale, and we’re talking about Entertainers, Sorcerers, Jackalweres, and Volo.</p><h2>Heard Any Good Rumours Lately?</h2><p>WotC has been busy recently, in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and general social change of our time, adding disclaimers to some of its older content, which may be seen a racially or culturally insensitive, or gender biased. D&D includes many races and has never penalised players who choose to play any gender, which was already admirable, but these steps will continue to ensure that anyone can play without feeling excluded or maligned.</p><p>Ultra Pro showed off their ultra-cute vinyl Figurines of Adorable Power during the D&D Live 2020 livestream, including adorable Mimics, Flumphs, Owlbears and more. I’ve already seen the Red Dragon figure for sale and have been tempted…</p><p>80’s Tees now have a range of D&D based merch, both from the main game and from the 80’s cartoon spinoff, and includes character armour hoodies that make you look like you’re wearing the armour of Hank the Ranger, Bobby the Barbarian or Eric the Cavalier, with more to come.</p><p><br></p><h2>Off to the Races</h2><h3>None</h3><p>We’re skipping playable races in this episode, as we’ve actually covered all the races in the PHB. Now I know that there are many more playable races, but it seemed a good point to end the season, and give me time to buy one of the other sourcebooks. Do you think I should go for Vole’s Guide to Monsters, which contains Aasimar, Goblins, Orcs, Kenku, Tabaxi, Yaun-ti and more, or perhaps Mordekainen’s Tome Of Foes, that includes Gith, and… er, well, Eladrin. Let’s be honest, in terms of continuing to make content, it’s going to be Volo’s. I will also be looking into the Elemental Evil Player’s...

(And presumably the previous Icewind Dale CRPG,) Touted as a horror adventure module, with 320 pages and over 50 stat blocks contained within - the most in any 5e module so far, several of which will be for the Frostmaiden Auril, herself as she can appear in various forms. Journey to the frozen wastes of the far north, to the communities of Ten-Towns and help defeat an ancient evil, brave blizzards, fish for Knucklehead trout or participate in an as-yet unnamed Goliath sport! The release date is Sept 15th and it should retail for $49.99.</p><p>Want more Icewind Dale? IDW Publishing is going to be releasing At the Spine of the World on 21st Oct. The comic is set in...
