First episode of the new year!! The guys are unprepared for another circle around the sun. Jay decided to talk about some variant rules that nobody knows about or uses from 5E D&D. Things such as marking targets, disarm, and massive damage. He also takes a look at the beginning of meta-magic in Dungeons & Dragons and many of the changes since it’s induction.

Dan makes the argument that he has never met anybody who played D&D basic and that those people don’t exist. He is wrong. Also he tells a wonderful tale from a D&D game he plays in which involves the Tarrqsque, some Balor’s, and a Demi-God.

Lastly the team talks about Stranger Things and the monsters used within since the finale just happened. It is not spoiler free, but it is at the end of the podcast so you can easily avoid those spoilers.
