S0:E9 | From gaming tropes to character hopes ft. Ethan (Party Chat)

Season 0, Episode 9. Ethan returns to Critical Catastrophe for a party chat about tabletop gaming tropes! Along the way we discuss all sorts of influential media, tropes we love and dislike, and some very strong feelings about movies, anime, and games. To top it all off we share our tabletop character ideas. A cleric pâtissier? A masked half-orc monk? Why not!

You can check out Ethan's latest articles at rollwithit.blog and can find him on Twitter @RollWithItBlog. Be sure to investigate his blog when you're finished here!
