Hello everyone! Welcome back. This week, we cover two topics that seem different but both cut fairly close to the same core: First, we discuss some ideas on how to reconcile a player multiclassing two vastly different classes (or whether to reconcile it at all), and follow that up with what to do when a character death hits one player harder than another. I feel like we got to some really insightful and really interest discussion in this episode, so I sincerely hope everyone out there is along for the ride!
This week's winner of our Chapel on the Cliffs drawing is Jonathan S! Congratulations, Jonathan! You should get your copy within the next few days.

Question answered this episode:
1. What should I do if a player wants to multiclass Paladin and Warlock? Would their god be okay with the character having a patron, and vice-versa?
2. We recently had a character death in our campaign. Although that player has made a new character, another player is upset by the death and is now insisting that the party should go on a quest to resurrect the fallen PC, even if it derails the campaign. What should I do?

Episode 114 - In the Thick of It
[Dang it, I did it again! This is the last time, I promise.]
Hello again, everyone! This week's episode is all about combat in game; specifically, combat etiquette and what should or shouldn't be allowed in the middle of battle while sitting at the gaming table. We definitely had a lot to say about this, so hopefully you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!

Mammalian Skeleton - Before recording Jeff mentioned something about how drawings of fantasy creatures often include nonsensical features only found in humans (since they don't exist and we're usually basing them off ourselves), and the example he gave to me was a specific bone that only exists in the arms of mammals (despite that bone often being visible in drawings of non-mammalian fantasy creatures, like Lizardfolk). I made a brief reference to this in the episode. I don't know what bone he was referring to, but I've provided a link to a page all about the mammalian skeleton, so maybe you can find it for yourself?

Episode 113, But That's Just Like, Your Opinion Man
(Whoops, looks like I forgot to publish this post last week. Sorry about that.)
Hey there, everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week. We start this episode off with some behind-the-scenes talk- I've been overworking myself and so I'm going to try and restructure how we do things here. Most of it won't affect you, the listener, but at the very least it's likely that our Actual Play podcast's release is going to be postponed, for at least the next few months. Once I have some time to get things back in order and catch my breath, we'll try to see where we stand and go from there!
As for the episode at hand, though, we discuss one main topic that shares a lot of DNA with the aforementioned difficulties- burn-out. How do you handle it, how do you see it coming, and what do you do when you know it's there? We talk all about that this episode, along with a healthy dose of goofs. So come along for the ride!
