This week, Adam and Tiana welcome Chris back onto the podcast to talk about fighting games redesigning the Monk. We discuss cultural expectations tied into the name of the class, how to think about martial arts as a whole, and why Tiana is now committed to playing a Monk in Baldur's Gate 3.

This week, Adam and Tiana take a look at the reworked character sheet Adam is working on for IP D&D. The goal is to have everything easily accessible and streamlined in a way that makes sense, while keeping the skills and information that are important to the fantasy of the game. How did we do? What you would add or take away?

This week, Adam and Tiana sit down with guest host Dane Filemyr to talk about Adam's rewrite of the Barbarian class. Dane plays Drausken in the streamed Death campaign, who is a multiclass Fighter/Barbarian using Adam's rewrite, so we wanted to get his take on the Barbarian fantasy, how he feels about Adam's rewrite, and whether Barbarian should be a full class at all.

This week, Adam and Tiana talk about upcoming plans in the ongoing Westgate Patron game, where the party is about to start building political alliances within the city.
