After one episode, I am very optimistic for this season with Blaine DM'ing! Great characters, OMG Houg Denning, I had to turn off the podcast repeatedly to re-gather myself at work and stop snickering. I am hoping Gerry brings another fighter-type (ranger?) to bolster the firepower. I'd like to see Lyra get a range weapon like a bow (been awhile, but there is a dex bonus for ranged weapons, no?) and attack from the shadows. Also hoping they transition this tavern scene, which is great, into a bigger, on-going campaign rather than a series of danger-room scenarios.
Go team nerd!
