Dungeons & Dialectics

Today, continue our WAY TOO LONG deep dive into AI in the game as we ask our guest Faraz about what we could do with AI. Could AI replace DMs? What about artists? Has it done so... already??? And if that's the case, does this say more about art, technology or capitalism itself?

In this THRILLING episode, Matt and Joe discuss their favorite Gods--money, medicine, and sports! Given the ambiguous nature of religion, how might one play a non-standard cleric who isn't bogged down by Abrahamic presuppositions? Could my cleric score a home run while performing a triple bypass heart surgery? Seek the answers within.

Matt is being attacked from all angles by a heinous hoard of the Lord's many cruelties, so we will be back next week with a full episode. In the meantime, this is the perfect chance to acquire intimate knowledge of the person whom my bank teller won't shut up about: God "the Rod" Jehovah.

Matt offers the definitive definition of religion that captures all that we want and also everything else in this can't miss episode of DnD! 

Further Adventures in the World of Metagaming from Matt and Joe

Back in 3.5 there was a terrible feat called Leadership. Find out about the surprising history of this feat and the ways it tries to solve problems and just makes more. Keep in mind, Joe has never played with this feat, but that has never stopped him from having strong opinions before!
