Welcome back to the stickiest tavern in podcasting! In this episode of Chat 1 and Done, Rudy takes the hot seat as we dive deep into the world of spite-built D&D characters, gunslingers with magical bullets, and the ethically questionable cuisine of the Forgotten Realms (divine hot wings, anyone?). We also debut a brand-new D&D quiz game: Dungeons & Decisions, where the rules are made up and your dignity is on the line. Topics include:

• Characters created purely out of vengeance
• What D&D races would taste best on a grill
• Tabletop systems beyond 5e
• Crafting mechanics that don’t suck
• Our best Nat 20s, our worst Nat 1s, and one emotionally scarred teddy bear

So grab a drink, lower your standards, and get ready to roll. Just… don’t let Rudy touch the artifact. Again.

In this episode, CJ from the Nat 1 & Done podcast joins the discussion to unravel the complexities of character creation in Dungeons & Dragons. CJ shares insights into his creative process, emphasizing the importance of determining a character's play style and backstory before diving into mechanics. With a penchant for creating diverse and memorable characters, CJ talks about the joys of drawing inspiration and the challenges of sticking with a character through ongoing campaigns. From the funniest mishaps to the most rewarding growth arcs, this conversation delves into how characters evolve in the unpredictable realm of tabletop gaming.

In this lively episode of Chat One & Done, hosts welcome a new guest, Ciro, who boasts tales of wits sharper than a rogue's and charisma higher than any coin pouch.
