But anyway, some talk about what we both feel are two pillars of good RPG play, those being "action" and "intrigue". And next week the other half!d20 Network Spotlight: GamerNationCon 9 -- https://tabletop.events/conventions/gamer-nation-con-9

This week we have a rambling chat with none other than the inspiration for the "Scale" episode a couple weeks back! We're joined by Neal Litherland to just get to know the creator a little better! We chat about Army Men and it's supplements, design philosophy, some of Neal's other projects and work, and kind of whatever flows through our brains.

This one starts off pointed in a very specific direction, but in true Steve fashion, we hijack, and sidetrack ourselves, but still somehow stay remarkably adjacent to the theme behind the topic.Sound confusing? It should make sense if you listen to it! (We hope!)
