Shelly is out performing Avalon Hill miracles, so Greg Tito is flying solo this week as he recovers from all the time travel he’s done lately. James Haeck (@jamesjhaeck) and Ruty Rutenberg (@RutyWoot) call in to talk about the work they and their colleagues put in for flavorful and awesome Xanathar’s Lost Notes to Everything Else – a companion to Xanathar’s Guide to Everything designed by the Guild Adepts. After James shares his love for world-ending dragons, we get into his and Ruty’s favorite new subclasses from Xanathar’s Notes, with the Discord Bard and the Runegaurd Fighter topping the list. Lore You Should Know – Matt Sernett (@Sernett) and Chris Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) return to the topic of Wyrms of the North, this time focusing on the good metallic dragons, such as the Felgalus, the flying misfortune, so named for his unfortunate habit of “accidentally” flying into unexpecting bystanders, and Palarandusk, the Unseen Protector, featured in Force Grey by Matt Mercer and named for the fact that’s parts of his body phase in and out of!
