Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Matt, Maddie and Meehan overcome some initial tech hiccups to talk about our (brief) time with Batman: Everybody Lies, amphibian adventures in D&D 5E’s Wild Beyond the Witchlight and the team’s ongoing love of wizard-fightin’ miniatures gem Frostgrave.

There’s also time to debate the pronunciation of Banana-grams/Ban-anagrams, revisit the joy of Rhino Hero and wonder why there aren’t more board games with numbered sequels.

We check in with the new Blade Runner RPG, a Pokemon Point Salad (starring the most delicious pocket monster) and a slew of ‘80s action movies you can soon play in D&D 5E.
