Isaiah didn’t have any particular idea for this episode and instead came at us with a bunch of different little things that have come up from his game.

Inspired by the events of a D&D session, some videos online, and video games Josh wanted to bring up some ideas about spicing up combat. Specifically getting into making tactical focused games more interesting and not becoming too dull by doing the same thing over and over.  YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf1ILEpdmgiEHnc6Agaz4KQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/SessionsCanceld  ...

Josh often rants and raves about people playing games other than D&D.
