    Episode 1: Variety is the Spice of Life

    Pull up a chair at our magical table in the sky and enjoy the first episode of Live, Laugh, Lovecraft: a gourmet D&D 5e actual play podcast all about the messed up world of 20th century science (with a few more cosmic monstrosities and a lot more goblin cookery).
    This week we learned the perfect way to cook roast beef, how to avoid being "judged" in public and why variety is the spice of life (so we started our adventure in a tavern).
    We hope you enjoy your time here!

    Episode 2: A Rat with a Flamethrower (or The Death of Four Salesmen)

    Welcome back to our table and to the first "fighty" episode. No matter what make sure you remember the first rule of fighty club - if you don't like fighty club take the initiative and jump to 39:13. The second rule as you know is to never ask why there is a man in your box and the third rule... well, we don't speak about the third rule.
    Join our party as they take on the forces of evil - four humble fruit merchants - and discover what they've been hiding in their warehouse.

    Episode 4 - Stale Oats and a Pail of Milk pt. 2

    Hello and welcome back to Fantasy Cribs. I'm Aldous Yeardley, a man with a bowel problem and a concerning fascination for worms. Today I'm going to show you around my traditional 18th century home.
    As they say: "man cannot live on bread alone". So I invested in this pail of milk. Perfect for keeping my frail Victorian bones big and strong. They also say don't trust the banks, so I store all of my worldly possessions behind a one of a kind bum worm in the cupboard beside my desk. You might have also noticed I have a visitor. I used to live alone but life in a two bedroom terrace house can get lonely. So now I live with a man I don't remember ordering on-the-line. He loves painting and decorating so, in return for his friendship, I clothe him and teach him of the marvels of the cosmos. Thanks to my dear petal Ivy for keeping me on the straight and narrow all these years. I wouldn't have all this money without you.
    This episode Zoë, Katie, Lucy and Steve live vicariously through their characters and go shopping. Sam definitely didn't have to cuttwo hours of shopping down to 20 minutes. That's definitely not a thing that happened.
