Each episode begins with a general interview about the guest, and then we segue into nerdy topics like character creation, stories from our D&D and Pathfinder games, numbers and game mechanics, tips for dungeon masters and story tellers, setting expectations, world building, running combats, our favorite classes and homebrew, and much, much more! Guests include a variety of content creators in the TTRPG space on Youtube and beyond! Big names and small ones alike, the core factor that ties us all together is our love for rolling dice, drawing cards, and getting into character for games atop tables (and online)!
