(Content warning: discussion of religious themes and cases of, but not specific details about, self harm and deaths in the fairly-distant past)
Demons? Witches?? Satanic Rituals?!? Wait... None of that? Just dice and pizza and... make believe? Hunh. But that's not what the news said!
This week in the Rose Garden, Soren and Caitie are continuing on through the History of D&D by expanding upon the era known as the "Satanic Panic". Did D&D instigate devil worship? Did the game make children go missing? Did every player immediately become a dice goblin? Well, spoiler alert, only one of those is true--but you'll have to tune in to find out for yourself!

The Complexity Principle
If you're trying too hard to look cool, you're only going to look like a fool... to yourself. Because making a complicated D&D character may sound like a great idea to begin with, but in reality, you might only be making your life harder. And life's (hard enough) like this already, so may just chill out and lay back, because complicated has already been done before. Maybe lets just... keep it simple?
This week in the Rosegarden, Caitie and Soren discuss how complicated characters have gotten in their way in the past, and how they have overcome them in the present. From RP to Combat, lets talk about how to keep things easygoing and fun around the table!
Editing TJ: "Give me just 2 more hours, I promise I can stuff a few more Avril Levigne lyrics in there. No, I'm not doing this for the listeners, I'm doing this for me."
