April 11, 2021 Episode 14 - Choas Bolt v. Twin Spell, Using Meta Knowledge, Contested Dice Rolls, and Railroading
Today, Justices Joe and Ana are joined by the truly lovely Justice Hunter for some deep dives into topics about how DMs interact with their players. First, the Court addresses the case of Choas Bolt v. Twin Spell, where they are presented with the question of whether the popular metamagic feature "Twin Spell" applies to the spell Chaos Bolt. We then chillax and relax behind the bench and dive into a discussion about the appropriate level of meta knowledge DMs should consider when building encounters. Next, the Court chews on the issue of contested dice rolls--who wins, and what does a "win" look like? And finally, we put on our conductor hats to talk about the ever controversial topic of railroading! Choo Choo! All Aboard!
Thanks for joining us Hunter! You can catch Hunter at @Skunkosourous on Twitter, as well as at the Nerd Blog Collective (here: https://twitter.com/nblogcollective) and at Hunter's Ko-fi shop (here: https://ko-fi.com/skunkosourous).

March 22, 2021 Episode 12 - Hexblade v. Magic Missile, In re Held Spell, Alternative Initiative, and Campaign Exits
It's time to turn off your phones, return from Rumspringa, and listen up, because court is in session! And today, we are so, so, so thrilled to welcome to the show our friend, Justice Andrew! In our first case, we examine whether the extra damage from Hexblade's Curse applies to every hit from spells like Magic Missile. Next, we rule on whether a held spell is truly lost at the end of the round if not used. After stripping down to our skivvies in the Judge's Lounge, we sit back and discuss the merits of the RAW initiative system and homebrew alternatives that add a ton of engagement to combat. We finish with a brief discussion of how to exit a campaign like an absolute pro. Justice Andrew will also be joining us for two upcoming episodes of RAW School, so be sure to listen!

*TW: Discussions of forced romances & brief mention of sexual assault after 1:08:00.*
We're back on the main docket this week, and joining us this week is Associate Justice Steve! We first discuss the mechanics of automatic-grapple attacks by monsters in In re Monster Grapple, and whether a lil' ole snek can truly restrain a gargantuan creature. Then we ditch the judge's robes for bath robes and mull over whether, RAW, critical hits are underpowered and how to remedy lame crits with homebrew rules. Last, we talk about lovveeeee! And orgies. But mostly love, and how PC romances can change the dynamic of a campaign. Let's do it!
