This time on "PokEnomics" Anirudh looks at the  Pokédollar or as he lovingly dubs it, the Poké. We look at, why does every game use the same currency, why are items always priced so similarly, and how does that work? We've always said that  Pokédollars are Yen, but maybe it's time we see them as the Euro instead.

#Trigger Warning, Discussion of Rape in Greek Mythology#

Ben and Maddison are back after a pause. This time they are looking at Greek mythology and all of the wonderful monsters in D&D that come from it. We'll look at Gorgons/Medusa, Minotaur, Lamia,  eidolon, and  Pegasus. Maddison will give some of her most unique tips for DMs wanting to run these creatures in their campaigns. Most importantly we will discuss why Zeus and his brothers are awful and why Hera is truly a monster to every poor woman Zeus took advantage of.
