Josh recounts some of his recent times spent as a Dungeon Master at Roll for Initiative in Victoria. Then we talk about how games like Minecraft get updates these days. Josh watches Man on the Moon. Ryan recounts some of his adventures in The Secret World. Then we discuss an article on elements for creepypasta stories. And our main topic this week is about Friends and Allies, what to do with them as a DM and what to do with them as a player, and the constraints of a work of fiction or a role-playing game in dealing with so many allies.
