In this very special bonus episode, Lisa and Sean interview Bruce (Lisa's dad) about the creation of his Christian RPG: Soul Guardian. We discuss the satanic panic, two realms of play, playtesting with two children under the age of 10, and fighting baddies.
Note: The link to the Dragonraid RPG.net entry below includes a few excellent reviews of the system, including some mechanics that Soul Guardian adapts, such as ability attributes named after the fruits of the spirit and using bible verses for “spellcasting.”
Soul Guardian is written by Bruce Hartman, with contributions by Mike Hammond.

Sean and Lisa strike back, this time with a slate of character creation delights! We discuss the Path to Castle Wawa, lezzing out in Boston, and being the possum lady.
Note: Boston being a particularly sapphic city is a misconception/anachronism on Lisa’s part. It stems from the phrase “Boston Marriage,” which refers to the 19th century phenomena of two women sharing a close domestic relationship, often between college-educated and financially independent New Englanders. These partnerships could be of a romantic or platonic nature (though there are some darling love poems in the link above).

It's Sidebar week! We finally discuss Sean’s GM loadout, JordyCon, media we’ve been enjoying, and being “rules activists” (lawyers).
Notes: Our Instagram is @episodic.adventures, not whatever we said. Oops! Also, don't watch All’s Fair. It's bad bad, not fun bad, after the first episode or two.
