The last of the class acts? Magic Users are as integral to Dungeons & Dragons as dungeons and dragons are. Join the Save Or Die crew as they discuss these spell casting archetypes of fantasy and how they view and use them in their own games.

We want to be peppered with questions and a-salt-ed with queries and you don’t ever have to butter us up. We mayo have had too much fun writing this episode summary but lettuce know if these food puns are your jam.
