Matt and Rob blast off into the 25th century -- or something like it, in any case, in their review of Light of Xaryxis, an adventure for 5th-level players included in the new Spelljammer boxed set. This one needs some work, but there's a lot of good ideas as well.

Matt and Rob return to one of their favorite topics -- the many works of J.R.R. Tolkien, in anticipation of Amazon's new billion-dollar boondoggle, The Rings of Power! Listen to two dorks ramble about obscure lore that no one cares about and will likely be discarded on episode one of the new show.

It's a (sort of) new (sort of) edition of Dungeons and Dragons: One D&D.

DMs Rob and Matt are still on a bogus journey through the Radiant Citadel. Part 2 has 10, yes 10, adventure reviews. Talk to a dying snake god, eat a dream egg, fight infinite stone golems, solve a mystery full of plot holes, traverse a skybridge of dragon bones, debate philosophy in an underwater city, join an anarchist revolution against an angel, put a lava axolotl back to sleep, or just do it all!  Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel Join DMofNone on Discord.
