Rob and Eli talk a lot about what happened in some of Rob's twisted justice campaigns as well as a little bit of the contingency hero issues. One thing that Rob can't seem to understand is how some players believe that bringing a god down to their level by being incinerated is actually "bringing them down to the mortal level." However, Eli gives an example, or at least an analogy of a fly versus a human and how it actually makes sense and truthfully, Rob is able to understand. Rob

What's up nerds! Rob and Eli, the paladins of podcast are back with another exciting episode where we have completely thrown the plan out the window. While we wanted to talk about some of the awesome techniques and skills and styles and intricate details of painting miniatures we got totally sidetracked, like usual, by a few things; and Rob's campaigns tend to have the layers pulled back like an onion. So sit back and relax as we give you a face full of what we didn't intend to. ---

Rob made a huge mistake by upping his microphone levels instead of turning up his headphones like a genius with no sleep. That must be what running for 19 hours a day gets you. We talk about the game Babies and Broadswords which is a fun introductory way to get the littles in Rob's life into a full blown ttrpg. Start them while they're young!
