    Episode 19: Son of Sunflower

    This week, Abi (@D8bitGaming) and Alex (@MrPuddins) dive back into the regular Stats Will Roll shenanigans. This week, while diving into building a bugbear character, the duo decided to try something that goes against the grain. Instead of having them start off as a typical goblinoid/monster, the duo make this character have a good origin, making the character the child of Sunflower, an NPC from Chromatic Chimera's SteamSpell.

    Episode 14: Holy Indulgences

    Ever wonder how to play an evil cleric that isn't overtly evil? Abi (@D8bitGaming) and Alex (@MrPuddins) of Chromatic Chimera dive into the intricacies of playing the holy people of DnD. Instead of making a cleric of a demonic deity or of a dark god, our duo come up with a sleazy cleric based on a historical concept... paying for divine salvation... A cleric that charges holy indulgences.

A fun and inspiring listen!

Alex and Abi are a great duo to listen to. Episodes are short and easily digestible but not lacking in fun. They have already rolled up some great characters and fleshed out some concepts that can easily be brought to your game. Give them a listen!

Stats will roll is clever and cute. They bounce ideas off each other and think of some really cool ideas for character creation. It’s worth a look if you’re looking for new character inspiration or just can’t get enough D&D.
