Welcome Back to the Table! This week we get to spend some time with a full studio (hooray!) and talk a little about the experience Arcadia and Jess had running the Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set for Dungeons and Dragons 5e.  We get different perspectives on both playing in and running a game set in the starter campaign as well as dive a little into the differences in experience for seasoned and new players. The team agrees that it is an accessible introduction to the game for new players while getting their minds around some of the stark contrasts it holds to earlier editions.  We see a starting adventure designed to take you and your character only so far all while acknowledging that it is an rules ultralight walk through the major elements of a broader and deeper game experience.  Enjoy and support the funcilitation on our Patreon!
