DRAGON DELVES RPGBOT.REVIEW - Plot twists, killer art, and just enough death to keep it interesting

A candy dungeon, a dragon cult, and a bag that eats you—what could go wrong?

You asked. We delved. You can now listen to past and present episodes of the RPGBOT.Podcast on YouTube! Whether you're deep cleaning your dice bag or prepping tonight's game, catch every optimization hot take and dragon-fueled derailment in high-def audio (and our beautiful logo in glorious static 1080p). Subscribe at YouTube.com/@RPGBOT — because dragons sound better at 1.25x speed.

Episode Summary:
The RPGBOT crew cracks open Dungeon Delves, the newest D&D 5E adventure anthology packed full of dragons, dungeons, and just enough whimsy to leave your party questioning reality. From solo player escapades to pastry-themed peril, the hosts review each of the anthology's adventures, exploring what works, what doesn't, and what got eaten by a Bag of Devouring. Spoiler alert: It's not just gear.

Along the way, they celebrate user-friendly design, lament undercooked storylines, and argue over which dragon deserves to headline the next Broadway musical.

Key Takeaways:

  • Adventure anthologies are great modular tools for GMs looking to plug-and-play without months of prep.
  • Solo character adventures introduce exciting mechanical wrinkles and make a case for letting that one friend who always plays rogues just go for it.
  • Hoard magic items are flavorful, fun, and make players feel very important.
  • Art and layout are top-tier. Even the dragons look like they moisturize.
  • Death at Sunset and The Will of Orcus are clear standouts—fun, well-paced, and full of dragon drama.
  • A Copper for a Song and Sandstone City left the crew hungry for more danger and depth (and less polite puzzle-solving).
  • Good adventure design balances meaningful player choices with challenge. Not every dungeon needs a TPK, but it should at least try.
  • Remember: If a Bag of Devouring starts to wiggle, you're already dead.
