In this episode we chat with my good friend Luna about how NPCs can become so much a part of a game that they're practically a PC for the DM without ever having been meant to be. Luna talks about the ways she created and developed her NPC alongside the party and how he eventually came to be a staple with them, a beloved member, and a "precious bb boi" (lol).

Solana Datura spent much of her childhood in the dark. Somehow it was still a surprise when her shadow magic manifested. Whisked away by drow, only to escape and fight demon lords, Solana has been on an epic adventure. The key word there, however, is "has". In this episode we talk with Star, host of the Characters Without Stories podcast, about the journey she took from start to finish with her shadow magic sorcerer. We touch on what it means to take a character through an entire story, what it means to say goodbye to a character, and ways that we say goodbye and move forward when the tale has taken its course. Then of course we talk to Solana herself and get her perspective on what the future holds for her and how she plans to continue her legacy.

Triggers: troubled family relationships, death and loss, trauma and child abuse, discussion of genocide, mentions of sexual feelings/actions/exploitation

Spoilers: Out of the Abyss D&D module

Ah yes, a swashbuckling scoundrel of a kenku turned resistance fighter. Swarthy and debonair, this bird's feathers aren't the only dark thing about him. Join me as I interview my good friend David, of the Noobs & Knockouts podcast, about his D&D character Wretched Seadog. We'll hear all about David's experiences playing in a long-term campaign, finding community in the people he plays with, and how creating characters sparks artistic masterpieces. Then we'll let Wretched Seadog tell his side of the story and why he doesn't like ducks. Just another wild ride aboard Professional Questers.

Triggers in this episode include: murder, profanity, brief mentions of sexual exploits, emotional, physical, and verbal abuse, kidnapping

It's episode two and we're talking about what I like to call TV-RPGs - ttrpgs set in established worlds from television or film media as a whole. I interview the season one cast of my very own Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign "Grave New World" (found at the Dirty20Gaming YouTube and Twitch channels). I interview BatKyle, who plays Yay the half-demon oracle, ManaQueen, who plays Ash the reluctant vampire slayer, Eddy, who plays the witch Miss Cheryl Darr, and Byzen, who plays Jack, an undercover government man with a dark past. Join us as we discuss the prevails and pitfalls of working with established lore and playing in a world we love, and hear how the world has impacted the characters from their own perspectives. You're in for another great episode. Let's goooo!

Triggers in the episode include: talk of death and dying, horror themes, vampires, emotions, and trauma
