Welcome to this sneak peek of PARTY PLANNING, our new VIDEO PODCAST just for Patrons! Once a month (but probably more often because we’re enjoying it so much), DM Eric answers your in-depth questions about playing and running D&D and other TTRPGs. Every episode features Eric and one of the JTP players, or one of our friends, talking about topics like character and item creation, being a better and more fun player & DM, homebrewing and reskinning, navigating interpersonal situations, and more. This is Episode 3: Swordtember! *Green Day Voice* “Wake me up when Swordtember starts.” We make some swords up on the fly and we reveal the story behind the headshot Eric has of himself.
