Episode description
Who doesn't love the horny bard? The orphaned princess? The mad wizard? Answer: after thousands of iterations, everyone. This week the guys look at tropes in the TTRPG sphere and discuss both the good and the bad elements of their presence. Bert is surly, but that doesn't prevent the news from presenting yet another game that makes Kyle spin.

From the OSR to Fauxs to SparkleTrolls, it is baggage that we all must remember we bring to the table.
