Before we jump into our next pairing, we're here with a topic episode. This week we are talking all about evil in books and games - evil protagonists, evil quests, and generally bad characters. There's so much we could talk about so we limited our discussion to things we have personally played or read. SPOILER ALERT! We are going to talk about twists and key plot points in order to have a meaningful discussion, so there will be spoilers in this episode. You can find the list of books and games below in the order in which we discuss them.
