Episode 153, with guests!

This week we're joined by DMs of Vancouver! Jessy and Sean are two great guys who have a podcast with a mission statement very similar to our own- to help everyone out there have the best game possible. With them on our show, we discuss enemy attacks & aggro in combat, as well as the 5th Edition weapon list (and what it may or may not be missing). This was a fun episode to record, and when you're done listening to it, go check out DMs of Vancouver- in a few weeks, you can expect to hear Jeff and myself on there too!

And remember, Crit Academy is just one of the great podcasts in the Critnation Fellowship!

Question(s) answered this episode:

1. How do you handle enemy aggro/choosing targets in combat? I don't like the idea of rolling or choosing randomly, but what about assigning values based on actions in combat?

2. How do you feel about the weapon list in 5th Edition D&D? Do you think the weapons should be more distinct, or that there should be more of them?
