The Hero Realms digital app offers players the chance to design and code their own custom scripts. One player went so far as to design their own set from the ground up. That player is Userkaffe and he is here to tell us all about his experience in designing and developing this fantastically flavorful and interactive set, filled with synergies– some subtle and some bold! There are some extra links that are super important this week. First is how to actually play these sort of games yourself within the app:WWYD (Industrialization Edition): 3:49 Getting to know Userkaffe: 16:09 Industrialization Design and Development Interview: 42:42 Card Talk (Industrialization Edition): 1:56:06 Community Round-up: 2:15:25 Taps, Scraps, Outro: 2:23:50 (edited)https://www.realmsrising.com/lua/hero-realms-lua-play-at-home-edition/ Check out this card gallery to see all the cards in the Industrialization set: https://imgur.com/a/card-list-hr-industrialization-mod-ZwgxxNy Up next is the main WWG page on Lua Scripting in Hero Realms: https://www.herorealms.com/luascripting/ And if you’re interested in making your own Lua Scripts, there is no better resource than WardenSlayer’s Lua Lessons: https://www.realmsrising.com/lua/warden-slayers-lua-lessons/ Of course the Realms Rising Discord also has channels dedicated to these Custom Games so be sure to head there with any questions.

The two man crew of Filtrophobe and DblDubz welcome a brand new guest for the third consecutive episode -- none other than Aarkenell. With the level 24 testing running for a few weeks now, he is on hand to share his experience thanks to the hundreds of arena games under his belt. We start off examining the original 5 classes before blitzing through the beta ones as well. WWYD makes its triumphant return and we also get to know a bit about Aarkenell.

The premier community event in all of Realms Rising is the Tavern Brawl and in this episode of Sparks and Recreation, the crew reviews a recent IRL Tavern Brawl event while also previewing the upcoming digital Tavern Brawl. Filtrophobe and DblDubz are joined by Tuff and BirdLaw to break it all down including the lore, formats, and even strategy surrounding team composition under the new rules. They also give some early thoughts on level 22 Arena testing and the most recent Alchemist changes. Be sure to stick around for the Community Round-up where Across the Realms is discussed. Note: In the show, it was said that all three core sets of Star Realms are required to participate in Across the Realms. We’d like to make the correction that the minimum requirement is the Vanilla core set of Star Realms.
