A new episode of my podcast, The Round Table, is up on The Tome Show’s website.

I sit down with Mike Shea, Joe Lastowski, Christopher Dudley, and Topher Kohan to talk about their recent experience with high-level combat in the new edition of D&D. We got together, created level 20 characters, and fought the Tarrasque, a death tyrant beholder, and a dracolich! They talk about the experience and breakdown the pros and cons of high-level combat in the latest edition of D&D. This podcast was recorded on November 2, 2014.

The Tarrasque Takedown Part I podcast is up on The Tome Show’s website.

On Sunday, September 21, 2014, I got together with a few Round Tablers got together to find out just what high level play was like in the new fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons. So Mike Shea crafted a grueling combat experience for Chris Dudley, Joe Lastwoski, Topher Kohan, and I. We got together to throw down with some D&D’s most iconic baddies – including the mother of all destruction, The Tarrasque. You can listen to this podcast or watch their experience on youtube – edited or uncut. Part II (and a rematch with The Tarrasque) is coming soon so be sure to keep checking back on thetomeshow.com.

Earlier this morning, I introduced you to Crisdale the Unworthy. Now, I’d like you to meet the next character in our party of adventurers for The Tome Show Presents The Round Table’s Tarrasque Takedow 2014: Mike Shea Out For Blood. Meet Malachi Moonriver, Human Circle of the Moon Druid, played by cool guy Joe Lastowski.

More cool stuff to come! For those who need the details of the event, check it out below!

Mike Shea, Topher Kohan, Joe Lastowski, Christopher Dudley and I discovered during a recent episode of The Round Table podcast that we had no idea how high-level play would shake out in the new edition. So, Mike graciously agreed to DM us through a series of level 20+ encounters culminating in an all-out, no holds barred, punch you in the face, over the top battle with my main monster the Tarrasque. If you want to be there live this Sunday, September 21st at 7:30PM Eastern – click the event link. You can also watch on youtube. If you can’t be there live, the YouTube video will live at that address and we’re releasing the audio as podcasts on The Tome Show’s website! Thanks, Jeff Greiner!

If you’re going, please tell your friends and on social media use #TarrasqueTakedown. I would love to be mocked in a live tweet stream, so please, help me complete a life goal.

Most of you probably already know about The Tome Show Presents The Round Table’s Tarrasque Takedow 2014: Mike Shea Out For Blood. If you don’t essentially Mike Shea, Topher Kohan, Joe Lastowski, Christopher Dudley and I discovered during a recent episode of The Round Table podcast that we had no idea how high-level play would shake out in the new edition. So, Mike graciously agreed to DM us through a series of level 20+ encounters culminating in an all-out, no holds barred, punch you in the face, over the top battle with my main monster the Tarrasque.

Anyway, it’s going to be fun…. and deadly! And educational! Seriously, we’re hoping to learn a lot about high-level play in the new edition, come learn with us. After it’s all said and done, we’ll do a Round Table podcast breaking down what we learned.

Now, I want to introduce you to Crisdale the Unworthy. He’s the level 20 Human Warlock I’ve created and will be playing. He rocks and Infernal Pact with Orcus Demon Prince of the Undead (it was an accident!) and loves him a good Book… of Shadows! Check him out in the pdf below.

Keep in mind, he’s built for heavy combat, since that’s mostly what our session will be.

All right, folks! See you on Sunday!
