Ever wanted to just hit the beach in downtime? In this episode, Josh & Phil discuss the lack of 'beach' in TTRPGs as we tend to go from land to sea via rocky shores and bustling docksides. So whether you want to build sandcastles, play volleyball, hang ten or your character's job is just... beach - this episode has everything you need for a day on the coast.

Monster Manual. Tome of Beasts. Why not more? From new oozes and cacti plants, to profiles of the fey lords and a wolf-headed dolphin thing; the worlds we create in TTPRGs contain a myriad of monsters.
