In the debut of our narrated, short-fiction series, Ian relays the origins of one of his very first characters, Eld. A half-elf born in a zealous high-elven society, Eld is shunned for his human lineage and forced to undergo grueling hardship in order to become "worthy" of his elven blood. But one day, something happens that will change his life forever... will he finally break free of his shackles? 

In this episode of Behind the Screens, we talk to David, AKA the Roaming Gnoll on Roll20, who walks us through his DMing experience and the experience he tries to craft at his Table. Ian personally got to experience this through his module, Harpy Death Pit, which you can find on Roll20 today! 

Another edition of the 4-part Icewind Dale saga conducted by our co-host Ian! Oh, so that's where the fishermen were... The gang encounters a treacherous foe looking to make them part of her next dish, wielding powerful magics and a cracked mind. Will they survive to complete their quest? And what's the thunderous sound coming down the halls...? Find out what's brewing in the finale of the Frostmaiden Sagas: Toil and Trouble!

"If you're looking for deep storytelling...relinquishing control and being vulnerable can lead to our greatest changes as people and as characters."
