Level Up! — Episode #23: On “Cheese Weasels” | Benoit and Hamblin spend a lot of time working on character optimization, but often we get accused of making characters that are too “cheesy.” How much optimization is too much? We discuss this issue with Michael from The Id DM. You can also find some further thoughts that Michael had after the discussion on his blog, here. As always, we want your feedback!

Level Up! — Episode #22: Lair Assault Post-Non-Mortem | Benoit ran the second Lair Assault for Hamblin and some of their friends recently, and now they’re here to talk about it! Hamblin’s team handled the mini-mod pretty well, though there are still a lot of unanswered questions about how things could have gone differently. Also, listen in to find out which “glory awards” were won, and which have yet to be achieved! Warning! This episode contains many many spoilers for the Lair Assault module, so if you want to avoid spoilers, you may want to skip this episode. Related posts: Level Up! — Episode #21: We’re Back!
