What is one thing TTRPG players love to do? Use weapons! In this week’s episode, Josh and Tony talk about some of their favorite weapons, spells, and character buffs to make combat fun and effective in D&D.

At the end of every session (almost without fail), people ask that same age-old question: did we level up? HA!!!! In this episode, Josh and Tony discuss what it means to level up both in D&D gameplay, as well as spiritually.
