A dangerous destination is not a place most regular folk would want to go (though, there are certainly some intrepid adventurers with little regard for their own safety). The realms of fantasy are full of challenge, darkness, and peril. Adventurers are, to a large degree, as admired as they are because of their willingness to go to these places, to deal with that which threatens the peace of the land. Without danger, there’s no adventure. So, what are these places, where are they, and what is happening there? That is what this book will help you discover.

With the guys off on a holiday vacation, Justin was invited to join Aelxbomb on her Twitch Channel to talk about her upcoming project Alex's Bombastic Oddities, written by Aelx herself and published by Crit Academy. This book is filled to the brim with a collection Aelx herself has created over the years of GMing, of things, stories, jokes, and more designed to do one thing: spark something. That’s the real purpose of this book, not to tell you what to create but to lead you to create it all on your own. Her hope is that the things in this book serve as anchor points that propel your mind into the sea of life abundant and allow the spark of inspiration to burst into a cataclysm that can only be tamed by furious writing of your newfound ideas.

Better Backgrounds is a 5e book full of backgrounds that give you fun new things to spend your hit dice on. You could take the ordinary boring Soldier background from the PHB, which gives you two skill proficiencies and a bunch of other junk you'll never use, or you could take the Soldier background from this book, which gives you the same two skills but also lets you spend hit dice on Battlemaster tactics or extra attacks. The noble background can spend hit dice as a reaction to mimic the Leadership ability that you see in NPC stat blocks sometimes, and a folk hero can permanently reduce their hit dice - but not their HP - for additional save proficiencies.

Arguably one of the best parts of any Dungeon Master’s prep in Dungeons and Dragons is the design, creation, and fleshing out of a great and thrilling adventure. This can be a struggle for some DMs, while for others it’s as natural as breathing. Well, I’m not gifted in this respect, so I rely on guides and tools to ensure I put together fun and engaging stories for my players. For this, I scour the books I’ve collected over my 20+ years of D&D. During this search I uncovered a solid bit of advice from one of the most hated versions of the game, Fourth Edition. Join us live as we go into detail on each of these points further on our Youtube Channel.
