“I’m a lore junkie, so the lore episodes are always super pleasing. The monster breakdowns are excellent, I’ve listened to so many in preparation for games, as well as the DM tips. I’m relatively new to being a DM myself and they’re super helpful. But so are the races/lineages and dragon breakdowns. There isn’t an episode that I don’t love.”
