also open gaming in general. This is partly to buy time required for
researching in-depth lore episodes, but also because it can be difficult to
_not_ talk about game mechanics when talking about the lore around a game.
In this episode, Klaatu takes a look at the [3 Pillar
XP](http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/3pillarxp) system
developed by Wizards of the Coast for D&D 5e. The idea for this new system
is to better reward players for exploration and social interaction, and not
just combat.

A tour of the enchanted woods and countrysides of the dreamlands
realm, around the river Skai, in the Six Kingdoms.
Three cities are covered in varying levels of detail: Nir, Ulthar,
and Dylath-Leen.
One new creature type: the zoogs, with approximate stats.
Two gods are briefly mentioned: Azathoth and Nyarlathotep.
Priests of Nasht and Kaman-Thah maintain a cavern-temple and a pillar
of flamethe, where they offer assistance to travellers on their ways
to the dreamland realm.
One new potion: moon-tree wine, a zoog delicacy, served in a
gourd. The wine is produced from a magical tree that grew from a seed
dropped by someone on the moon. Like many wines, it is known to
induce intoxication and drowsiness.
There is much more to cover, but this is a good introduction to the
dreamlands. We will definitely be returning later.
