- - Description - -

To start, a handful of call ins from my most prolific callers - thank you, guys, for calling in - followed by an expose on house-ruling: why I do it, which - I assume - is also why so many do it, and a cautionary conclusion about what to keep in mind before changing the rules for your game.

Want to get in on the call-in action? Drop me a message: https://anchor.fm/clerics-wear-ringmail !
