    Episode Forty-Five: Riding The Dragon (i.e. Don't Be Toxic)

    In Episode Forty-Five of True Believers, chrs uses a THINLY veiled premise (watching the D&D episode of Teen Titans GO!) to have a long, random conversation with her buddy Nisabel about TTRPGs.
    (Trigger warnings from 17:40 to 41:20, please check notes.)


    Notes: 


    When we played that first game of Dungeons & Dragons, I had only met Nisabel and Iman twice.In my DEFENSE (re: Hero’s Forge and character creation) they ASKED me to do that stuff and they (for some reason) wanted to create those HFs on my iPad!Spoilers for The Unsleeping City II from around 17:40 to 18:15.Mentions of various violent crime from around 19:15 to 20:40.Taylor Swift having a BBL is an unsubstantiated claim.More mentions of that The Mortal Instruments incest (and Flowers in the Attic) from like 37:00 to about 41:15.Wine Auntie is a Way of the Drunken Master Monk. We just didn’t say.There’s actually a Paladin spell called Lay on Hands.
