Spoilers for 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks' (Quests from the Infinite Staircase)
Show notes
This week, Hamilton convinces Fiona to read 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks' adventure module from the latest D&D adventure anthology, 'Quests from the Infinite Staircase'. This anthology weaves a cosmic thread through six classic Dungeons & Dragons adventures, updated for the game’s fifth edition.
Bio for the original 'Expedition to the Barrier Peaks' adventure:
'Published in 1980, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks was designed by Gary Gygax to introduce D&D players to the science fantasy genre. The chaotic adventure features a crashed spaceship rife with malfunctioning robots, futuristic gadgetry, and weird monsters— including the first appearance of the froghemoth, an amphibious menace immortalized by Erol Otus in the illustration booklet that accompanied the adventure.'

This week, Fiona is back in the solo adventurer's seat as she continues her playthrough of Faerie Mound of Dragonkind, a solo quest adventure book set in Dragonlance!
Written by Jean F. Blashfield and James M. Ward and published by TSR in 1987, Faerie Mound of Dragonkind is part of the CATACOMBS gamebook series which, according to the blurb, represents the ultimate challenge in role-playing adventure. Analytical powers would be tested to the utmost as readers must decide how to deal with the weird and wondrous creatures and artefacts they encounter, using a simplified d12 rule system.
From the Faerie Mound of Dragonkind bio:
'Out of the mists of time, protected by the enchantments of the ancient gods, rises the Faerie Mound of Dragonkind. At the dawn of mankind, faeries could be found everywhere, but with the introduction of cold iron, these enchanted creatures were forced to gather their magical essences in ancient places of power, wrapped in magical illusions. Once every thousand years, the Mound is revealed in all its splendor. It is at these times only that mortals can cross over into the dangerous world of ancient magic and power that is the last stronghold of the enchanted realm.
In FAERIE MOUND OF DRAGONKIND, you enter the world of a visual maze, full of surprises both delightful and deadly! You come on a quest, as a fighter or a bard. But to complete your quest, you must explore the maze of enchanted chambers of the faerie mound, where fearsome creatures lurk behind every corner and magic is everywhere! A unique feature of this book is a roguish Elf, who may either help you or hinder you and may be hiding on any page!'

This week, Fiona is joined by guest cohost Ty from Side Character Quest once again to discuss two different RPG tools/games to help supplement worldbuilding when running campaigns: Timeskip and Artefact.
Timeskip by A.A. Voigt is a collaborative worldbuilding tool for jumping characters from a previously-established tabletop campaign into the future. Together with your table, imagine new outfits, new jobs, and even new family members that arrive in your characters' lives as time continues to pass. Furthermore, Timeskip allows each player to make choices about significant factions or NPCs in your campaign, altering them as well as their characters.Artefact by Jack Harrison/Mousehole Press is a solo TTRPG game of legendary items and transient heroes. In the classic dungeon crawl, you follow the lives of adventurers as they overcome challenges to gain prestige and, most importantly, magical treasures. But what were those treasures doing before the adventurers came along? How many aeons have passed, in silent darkness, since they were last used?Other games mentioned: Blades in the Dark and Alice is Missing.

This week, Fiona and Hamilton continue their look at 'Eberron: Rising from the Last War' - the Eberron campaign setting for the 5th edition.
Created by game designer Keith Baker, Eberron was the winning entry for Wizards of the Coast's Fantasy Setting Search, a competition run in 2002 to establish a new setting for the D&D game.
Eberron combines a fantasy tone with pulp and dark adventure elements, and some non-traditional fantasy technologies such as trains, skyships, and mechanical beings which are all powered by magic.
From the 'Eberron: Rising from the Last War' Bio:
'Stories Don’t Always End Well
Whether aboard an airship or a train car, embark on thrilling adventures shrouded in intrigue! Discover secrets buried by years of devastating war, in which magic-fueled weapons threatened an entire continent.
In the post-war world, magic pervades everyday life, and people of all sorts flock to Sharn, a city of wonders where skyscrapers pierce the clouds. Will you find your fortune on mean city streets or scouring the secrets of haunted battlefields? Will you throw in your lot with the mighty dragonmarked houses, ruthless families who control whole nations? Will you seek truth as a newspaper reporter, a university researcher, or a government spy? Or will you forge a destiny that defies the scars of war?
This book provides tools that both players and Dungeon Masters need to explore the world of Eberron, including the artificer character class—a master of magical invention—and monsters birthed by ancient warmongering forces.'

This week Fiona and guest cohost Naomi sit down to chat about Clerics - a playable class from the original 5e Player's Handbook. Both capable in combat and skilled in the use of divine magic, Clerics are often seen powerful healers whose divinely-granted abilities over life or death, give them to powers to repel or control undead creatures.
According to the Player's Handbook (2014):
'Clerics are intermediaries between the mortal world and the distant planes of the gods. As varied as the gods they serve, clerics strive to embody the handiwork of their deities. No ordinary priest, a cleric is imbued with divine magic.
'Clerics combine the helpful magic of healing and inspiring their allies with spells that harm and hinder foes. They can provoke awe and dread, lay curses of plague or poison, and even call down flames from heaven to consume their enemies. For those evildoers who will benefit most from a mace to the head, clerics depend on their combat training to let them wade into melee with the power of the gods on their side.'
Check out all of Naomi's upcoming projects on her carrd site.
