This week, the guys return to talk about the infernal race of Tieflings - Do they belong in your world? Where do they fit? What are some cool ways to use them in unique ways? How do you pronounce "Tiefling"? The right way, or the wrong way? Are you still reading this? Does *anyone* read these? Hello? Are you out there? What is this ethereal, wall-less space inside the interweb? Will I thrive here forever? Or fall into dryrotten solid-state hard drives and a chaos of unworking cables? Will I dream, Dave?
Enjoy the episode.

The Roll Up & Die Guys are back to take a bite outta crime! In this episode, we take a gander at the "dark reflection" of society that we know as the criminal world, and we (allegedly) help you to make your game's crime syndicates more realistic!
Enjoy!

In this episode, the guys talk about gnomes. I'm not kidding. You should check it out if you don't believe me. We go into a large amount of detail on the creature that we imagine might be a gnome, and then Matt called them eccentric, it was a thing. Can you tell I'm in a hurry to get this posted?
Enjoy.

In this episode, the guys tackle FEAR at the table (talk about a Gothnog's dream). What basically morphed into an episode about creating immersion using the five senses will still inspire the heck out of you. At the very least, you'll listen to some other, sexier podcast instead.
We don't set the bar very high for ourselves...
