Hark, dear companions, and be ensorcelled by the mystical vibrations of Lords of the Dungeon! On this auspicious day, let it be known that Aaron is aflame with excitement, for he unveils the sacred tomes of the 5th Edition Planescape, laden with secrets of worlds beyond reckoning. In the shadowy recesses of our discourse, we shall unravel the tales of the Game Masters who have woven dread and wonder upon their hapless players. Behold, as we traverse the cosmos of roleplaying games, discovering the varied archetypes of players that dwell within, and ponder the visages we ourselves bear in this ethereal realm of imagination! Welcome, noble souls, to an episode graced by the enchantment of the ages.

It's all Fat Bear Week and puns this week, both of which share one important characteristic--they have distended, pendulous bellies. Wait, that wasn't it.

It's that they are both to be respected for their power and danger. Those people you hear about who try to live with bears always suffer the same fates as the serial deployers of puns, in that they are both found dead and alone.

There's also the Question of the Pod and Swear an Oath, because we are nothing if not predictable.
