Ruby was a fun guest! I really liked how she and Jackson stressed JD out with curses! Remember Jackson you still have 2 curses up to a total of 6 roll over curses!

I wish JD also played the D&D game just to have a reviewer who paid a bit more attention. Also the panther is in the game. Play the tutorial idiots. Adam should have played it actually for a better comparison between the tabletop, video game and books that the game referenced. I feel you did it a bit of a disservice. Maybe you should stick to stardew valley like games. You only seems to give fair reviews to indie games for the most part.
