I wanted to do something special this Thanksgiving. I wanted to take some time to give thanks to everyone on cast here. I could do this without you. My life is better because of you.

Welcome to the second episode of "BenRichten's Guide to Monsters and Lore"! Join hosts Ben and Maddison as each episode they take a deep dive into some of our favorite monsters from the ever popular tabletop role playing game. We'll look at the real world cultures, mythos, and lore that inspired these creatures. We'll look at the stories behind them in the Forgotten Realms. Then Maddison will give us pointers on how to use them as a DM or how to fight them as a player.

This month we are looking at Persian lore. We are looking at Genies, Manticore and the Simurgh. You can find the Simurgh in the "Creature Codex" from Kobold Press.

Do you wonder why companies continue to invest in products despite them being clearly not worth it? Or why do you stay in the theatre despite the movie clearly not being any good? Why do I continue to throw my Pokeballs in Pokemon Go, despite the Pokemon clearly not wanting to join my team? All of this falls under the facinating topic of the "sunk cost fallacy", and Anirudh of PokeNomics will break it down here!
