    Episode 43: How Campaign Length Changes How You Plan

    We talk a lot about long-term campaigns and one-shots, but we seldom talk about the middle ground! We (try) to get into it this episode, but quickly get sidetracked in realising that we ought to deep-dive into specific campaign lengths.

    Episode 40: The Strangest Thing of All

    We went into the studio early especially to record this while Stranger Things 5 is still topical. We have gripes about it, of course. It's not just the writing, it's not just the inaccurate D&D, it's the terrible writing *within* the show's D&D. Paddy has an axe to grind this time and the Duffer Brothers' heads are on the block!

    Episode 39: Diegesis

    This topic got us really excited when we hit upon it because it nails a concept that we've skirted around before but never quite had the language to address directly.
