Watch out, Sean and Lisa are on the loose and getting earnest as hell! We discuss game prep for public and home games, “scab-picking” and “hugboxing,” and setting session intentions–plus Lisa gives her best Deckard Cain impression.

CW: mentions of homophobia/transphobia

Note: Rules for Fairhaven map making is indeed included in the WHPA-13 core rulebook (and not in one of the many supplements for the game as Sean thought!)

It's Sidebar week! We finally discuss Sean’s GM loadout, JordyCon, media we’ve been enjoying, and being “rules activists” (lawyers).

Notes: Our Instagram is @episodic.adventures, not whatever we said. Oops! Also, don't watch All’s Fair. It's bad bad, not fun bad, after the first episode or two.
