Small cut from a recent DND Versus recording, I *love* giving players a wealth of magic items and tools, and the blank check* I give JT in this one is SURE to lead to some fun shenanigans.

*I said that his character's wheelchair has 4 portals connected to fixed locations of the player's choosing
Balloo gives the player, JT, a "blank check" of 4 magic portals that can go anywhere on their character's wheelchair which leads to JT calling Balloo insane and a fun exchange about empowering players to tell *their* story

In case you thought that switching to monthly episodes means toning things down, this is what our current player in residence had to say to Balloo about today's recording:

"Balloo, my second favorite thing about you as a DM is the utterly insane mechanics you make up on a regular basis."

New episode finds our protagonist on the river to hell with a familiar looking Charon, and they can't seem to resist rocking the boat.

When I started making @dndversus.bsky.social one of the podcast publishing platforms had an AI Cover Art tool and I didn't even test it, I emailed @rachelgeorge.bsky.social and she's been my go to for art for the show since then and the results have been amazing.

I know there's a LOT going on in the world but in spite of and maybe because of all that, I'm really proud of this show. I pushed past my comfort zone getting this going and I'm floored by the help and support I've gotten from friends. Fantasy and goofs don't fix anything, but they are a nice break.

Big few days coming for people who like my voice: season one finale of @dndversus.bsky.social drops on Thursday, and my guest appearance on @favoritebadmovie.bsky.social drops on Sunday where I'll be dying on the hill of defending Keanu's accent in The Devil's Advocate

I don't want to spoil a single thing about this finale except to say that @scramblinman.bsky.social played Kris Single through a heist that involved cunning, quick thinking, and a parody of a Chappell Roan hit single.
Every good DM knows if you want or need something to happen don't hide it behind a dice roll.

Meanwhile, our DM played Russian roulette with the climactic dice roles of our season finale.
