ScrubMode Julio Adan Villanueva

The three of us finally talk about the DnD movie, and what we thought about it.

In this special episode we play-test a TTRPG system made by Julio. Thanks to Jesse Sanders for making our music.

We have a jam packed episode ready for you. We talk about the new and unsurprising government report on UFOs before jumping to Flumphs, either the best or worst monster in DnD depending on how cool you are. We pair them with some of the dumbest but most beloved cryptids ever to spookily creep across the screen of a dusty old CRT TV: Rods and Fresno Nightcrawlers. Then we try to talk about Fomorians in DnD and Irish Myth before we pour one out for Dragon Ball Mangaka Akira Toriyama. Plus, Gundam, 2003 condensed down to its purest form, and is your cat's butthole haunted?!

Talking about Julio's interests leads us down some bummer rabbit holes, plus talking about fast food!

We're joined again by Tim Baksh to talk about something really unhinged: "real life" super soldiers. Thrill as we discuss claims of outer space heroism, alien alliances, Reptoid fighter pilot school, space Infidelity, and several plot points clearly borrowed from popular sci-fi franchises!

Today we talk about dragon turtles, various sea monsters pretending to be islands and elementals. Yes, all elementals. Then we dip into the elemental theory of alchemy, and we promise, it makes just as much sense as anything else in alchemy!  We also discuss Disney movies, pig milk, and plague king Johnny Boss/Ianibeg.
