This week, we're diving into the lore of four-legged beasties, both in mythology and in game. Join us as we discuss hellhounds, black dogs, and the King of Cats, and the D&D monsters they inspired - yeth hounds, barghests, grimalkin, and more - and how to make them more than just a simple combat encounter. 

As we mentioned at the beginning of the episode, we were guests on another podcast! We got to join Aaron and Zak over at Some Patches Required (Twitter: @Patch_Required) for some talk about TTRPGs and how they've influenced - and been influenced by - video games. It was a ton of fun, and we really appreciate the SPR team for inviting us over.
