Shopping, it's perhaps the most low-key divisive thing we commonly do in games. Some love doing it, some hate doing it, and some don't care much either way. So how do you keep the whole table interested? Or how do you keep you interested? That's kinda what we chat around in this episode.Also worth noting, we're likely going to skip a week or 2 with releases, as I'm madly trying to work extra OT at work, prepare stuff to take with me to GamerNation Con, get things taken care of in regular life before I go off on the trip, and so on.

Let it never be said we don't listen to our listeners! This week we answer a question a listener posted on our Discord (see link at the top of the page, or further down in the notes here) expand a bit on a concept we've mentioned a few times on the show. That being "Anthology Campaigns". For us, they're just another way to tell a story, and maybe also to just engage ourselves a little more, so listen and enjoy!

Howdy folks! This week we split our discussion between 2 topics, the first, the much maligned trope of "Murder Hobos" (because episode 187), and the other, in-game communication, and how it can, and can be used to, affect the story you're telling.
