We go through the most common things that come up when we're playing, and some of the basic principles of the game--which we hope will make it easier for you to follow the story when you're listening to the Rokhatima Campaign!

In the process, Torsten and Kylee get drawn into a couple tangents, all in the service of demystifying gaming jargon.

Plus, we've got some questions from listeners about their most burning DnD questions!
