Rachelle, Ethan, and Christian finally give in to the pressure and we cover Dragons: The Second Big D in D&D. They are big scaly, scary, and literally everywhere. 
And it's time now for the SCIENCE! Turns out, while the great winged forces of nature might not be real, humans sure love to call things "dragon-". On top of that, we did eventually find a big lizard with the temperament and resiliency to live up to that name, so at least one of the many Earth "dragons" is close enough to earn the title. Stick around for Part 2 of Dragons!

Mark a multiverse, you'll highlight a dragon. Have an ecological niche in your game? Shove a dragon in there. Now there will be two dragons in that niche, we can nearly guarantee there was already one there. Buckle in for Part 1, as we examine the folklore and game history of Dragons!

Rachelle, Ethan, and Christian fail their Sense and Perception checks and fall headlong into our favorite oozes, discovering that, in or out, never touch the pudding in a dungeon! We covered a fair amount of ground and cleaned it of all the moss we could and really dug into the nooks and crannies. This one gets slimy folks, so strap in for Oozes and Friends with our star: Gelatinous Cube!

Rachelle, Ethan, and Christian are back at the mimic colony to look at the science surrounding mimics, and where you can use them in your game. After asking Mother Nature, the list of places you couldn't use a mimic might be shorter...
