This week we're going back to the vault to talk about Mythic creatures and encounters.

What are they? How should you use them and how do you make your own? James and I introduce Mythic creatures to you if you've not used them yet, we'll talk about how and why they are so great and then give advice on creating your own. We'll even make a Mythic version of a big D&D creature that you can use.

This week I'm joined by Ray to talk about Legendary Resistances. We'll get into what they are, why they are good and not as bad as everyone thinks and then how to improve them. We'll talk about how to incorporate them narratively into your sessions and touch on the mechanics to back that up. 

We're also introducing Ray's Kitstarter: Emry's Log of Legendary Eminences. 

This new simple mechanic turns Legendary Resistances into story beats and new mechanical challenges.
Check out the kickstarter today and head over to the We Speak Common Twitter to enter into the giveaway to win a digital copy of the book!
