When Death Isn't Permanent

Josh and Ryan talk about D&D Fifth Edition, plus an assortment of topics, including souls, art, games, and immortality. Josh creates a Mario Clone army, and then invents Cheerirunes (runic alphabits). And for our main topic of discussion, what would happen if death wasn't permanent? We examine this question in fantasy, science fiction, and the world of modern fiction.
