Of Monsters and Mushrooms, Ch. 10 (book 1 NEW) ep. 800 Have a FIN-tastic Day! NOTE: This is a rewrite of book 1. Originally, 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms' was supposed to be a multi-part short story that transformed halfway through into a novel. This left the plot (and the voice acting, to be honest) lacking. We decided to go back and completely rewrite book one to fix any plot holes and bring the quality in line with the rest of the series. Listen to the new book one playlist here

The Samophlange ep.789 The Samophlange was a quest in early World of Warcraft located in Bilgewater Harbor. I took that quest, including all the dialogue, and turned it into an embellished short story. As far as I know the quest no longer exists, so this is my way of keeping it alive! I originally published this years ago, but had to take it down when YouTube changed some guidelines. Those guidelines are now clearer, so I recorded this again and decided to publish it anew. ---- Listen Elsewhere
