    • Drow and Driders
      This week we talk about drow, dark elves, and the unseelie court, before pivoting to driders, ettercaps and spidery yokai. Why is every evil creature in the underdark a paranoid purple-skinned slaver? Why are there so many goshdarn elf civil wars? and HOW DO I SHOT WEB?

        • Dragons part 2 - Dragon Tales

          Ryan, Julio and Jon talk about dragons in myth and symbol. We look at dragons (and briefly kaiju) as symbol for destruction, climate change, greed, national pride and more. Then we bring the most DnD-ass dragon myth we could find, before introducing you to some dragons you might have heard of from Ghana and New Zealand.
