    #Trigger Warning, Discussion of Rape in Greek Mythology#

    Ben and Maddison are back after a pause. This time they are looking at Greek mythology and all of the wonderful monsters in D&D that come from it. We'll look at Gorgons/Medusa, Minotaur, Lamia, eidolon, and Pegasus. Maddison will give some of her most unique tips for DMs wanting to run these creatures in their campaigns. Most importantly we will discuss why Zeus and his brothers are awful and why Hera is truly a monster to every poor woman Zeus took advantage of.

Amazing

This show is amazing. Granted, I do miss Lucas Lectures, but still great, I would love it if you would finish the mini series of single-type-focused episodes. (IE: Drako Special, Pick your Poison, Burnin' Up)

My favorite Pokémon is Falinks

Can you please talk about Falinks (Fay-links) and the nacli evolution chain? Keep up the good podcast! I listen every night now.

Bum er ,

The Maddison show

An inconsistent show that doesn’t know what it wants to be. It would be great if Maddison didn’t cut people off and would let others talk
