Main Quest - Episode 32 "Don't Wake Grumpa" continues the first season of Heroic Round's actual play TTRPG podcast!
----
With Rowan delivered to Callista Fey and their dangerous bargain seemingly fulfilled, our heroes set their sights on a new goal: gathering the rare ingredients needed to cure the growing curses afflicting their companions.
Armed with Mama Vell's recipe and haunted by the consequences of their recent choices, the party leaves Briarberry behind and journeys toward Damon’s Retreat, where an old tower and a tranquil pond conceal new dangers.
There, they find Grumpa, the violent half of the two-headed ettin known as Granny and Grumpa. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Grumpa isn't interested in conversation.
As steel clashes with club and magic lights the waterside, the party must survive a brutal battle while continuing their search for the missing Foxtails. Meanwhile, questions linger: Has Callista truly released her hold on L.S.? Where have the Foxtails gone? And is Lola the dwarf still hiding somewhere in Briarberry?
Join us for giant-sized combat, questionable decisions, and another step deeper into the mysteries of Thornhaven Forest.

Main Quest - Episode 31 "Out of the Bag" continues the first season of Heroic Round's actual play TTRPG podcast "A Wizard's Folly"
Welcome!
----
After discovering the escaped messenger Rowan sneaking through Briarberry, our heroes uncover a chilling message from Lord Galen Thornhaven himself: all loyal soldiers are to return to the Thornfort immediately… and anyone suspected of treason is to be separated and captured.
With Sir Landon and the party now branded enemies of the realm, tensions rise across the village as fear and paranoia begin to spread.
But Rowan’s capture presents a dangerous problem. Determined to keep the message from reaching its destination, L.S. proposes a risky and deeply questionable solution involving a Bag of Holding… and the Fey goddess Callista’s sacred tree.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Briarberry, Lola the dwarf has mysteriously vanished yet again.
What exactly does L.S. have planned? And how long can the party avoid the wrath of the Greenman?

* Will the heroes cave and take the easy way out with Rowan?
* Will they satisfy LS's dark deal with Callista?
* Will Briarberry turn on the group once they learn the "truth" coming from Lord Galen and the Thornfort?

The campfire has burned out, leaving only the cold ash of betrayal. The Manticore battle is concluding.
The manticore has fled into the dark with Flavius’ steel in its back, but the wounds it left behind aren't just physical. In a night of sheer localized horror, the Foxtails have been shattered from within. Blood has been spilled by friendly hands, a companion has vanished into the trees, and the ultimate price has been paid by those who stood tallest.
One struggles to lead a party that has lost its soul.
One watches as a teammate succumbs to a lingering curse, rising not as a friend, but as the living dead.
And one mysterious figure from LS's past shows herself.
Can the Foxtails survive the aftermath of the storm, or is this the end of the road for our heroes?

The campfire becomes a battlefield.
When a monstrous shadow strikes from the dark, venom and confusion tear through friend and foe alike. Steel clashes where it shouldn't, loyalties blur, and the night fills with the clash of battle and the cries of the wounded.
One searches for the arcane truth behind the creature’s power.
One answers with flashing steel.
And somewhere above it all, one calls down a storm of fury unlike anything Thornhaven Forest has ever seen.
But will lightning be enough to stop the Alpha Manticore?

This week, the conversation gets spicy as the players and Game Master tackle one of the most polarizing topics in the TTRPG community: narrative control vs. the dice.
Join us at the Heroic Roundtable with Brandon, Chad, Jon and Zach.
🔥 What Surprised Us Most? (0:17)
The guys revisit the shocking moment from the last session where LS (Brandon) got ambushed! Was it a fair fight, or a sneaky DM move? We discuss:
- How LS's "impulsive" playstyle (outside of rolling checks) led him straight into danger.
- The rare use of Passive Perception and how the Game Master avoided tipping off the players.
- Brandon's philosophy: "If I never roll a dice in a session, it's a good session!" and the joy of pure roleplay.
🎭 Roleplay vs. Rollplay in TTRPGs (2:09)
We break down the fundamental difference between "Rollplay" (relying on mechanics and dice) and "Roleplay" (narrative and character embodiment), and how our group balances the two.
- Chad explains the "Rule of Cool" and when the DM should prioritize a great story moment over a strict rules outcome.
- Brandon, Jon and Zach (the players) perspectives on Jon's consistent character work and how it earns narrative influence.
❓ Fan Questions for the Main TTRPG Actual Play (7:27)
We answer your questions from social media!
- For LS/Brandon: What went through your mind when you realized who had ambushed you?
- For Flavius/Zach: What's your first impression of Orsik of Urol? (Hint: It involves condescension and a hilarious comparison to a "tattered robes" villain). We also theorize what "ultimate answer" Orsik might hold.
- For Mac/Jon: Do you regret not choosing Bard as your class? (The singing has to come from somewhere!)
🚨 The Ultimate TTRPG Community Debate: DM vs. Dice (13:34)
We jump into the hot-button issue dividing the TTRPG community: How much should a Game Master shape the story vs. letting the dice decide?
- The player experience of being "railroaded" and why it feels "deflating."
- Is fudging dice ever okay? The GMs give their honest (and differing) opinions on when they might secretly change a roll.
- The electrifying excitement of a High-Stakes, Open Roll—where everyone is on the edge of their seat!

Until next time, remember to Live Heroic, and if you must Die... Die Historic! 🤘

At the heart of Briarberry lies the Inn on the Green—serving food, lodging… and danger.
L.S. finds himself among fellow rogues who speak his language—but a wink and a word quickly spiral into something far more deadly.
Meanwhile, Flavius and Mac share drinks with a soot-covered stranger who offers a cryptic prophecy: “An answer is coming.”
As L.S. fights for his life in the shadows, Mac brings the common room to life with a show-stopping (and slightly toxic) performance.
Will L.S. escape his latest tangle with fate?
Will Mac embrace his inner bard?
And will Flavius be ready for the answer on its way?
Find out now, on Heroic Round.
