| 0:00.0 | Well, welcome back to the Dungeon Master's block, the place where we come to talk about, the Dungeon Master, the most important person in the game, the only person capable of playing God, killing characters, and lowering the |
| 0:22.4 | egos of all other people at the table. |
| 0:25.0 | I'm one of your hosts, D.M. Mitch. |
| 0:27.3 | And I'm D.M. Neal, aka Joke Moniac. |
| 0:30.2 | And today, I'm really excited, Neil. |
| 0:32.5 | We have, again, a returning guest. |
| 0:35.2 | We have Michael from the RPG Academy here to talk to us about one of my all-time favorite D&D races, Halflings. |
| 0:46.6 | We're going to be talking about Halflings today. It's going to be a fantastic episode with Michael. |
| 0:51.8 | This is going to be a way shorter episode than normal. |
| 1:12.4 | Would you say about Half-Length? Oh, no, none of that. But we're also going to talk a little bit about our favorite convention that we go to every year, a catacom. So definitely listen in to everything that we have coming your way. So if you're a gold dragon or higher, head over to our Patreon where you can check out the brand new subrace for Halflings that yours truly made. And speaking of Patreon, if you are a Silver Dragon or Up, you have some creative control. |
| 1:18.3 | So head on over and make sure to vote for the next Ancestual Analysis episode. |
| 1:23.6 | Your vote will be between Gnomes, which were right up there with halflings in the vote last time, dragonborn and half orcs. |
| 1:32.3 | But as always, we have some iTunes reviews. |
| 1:36.2 | So the first one comes to us from Matthew Bro 77, taught an old dog, new tricks, five stars. |
| 1:43.0 | When I came upon this podcast, I was looking for an easy way to |
| 1:45.8 | get back into gaming after 20 years. I was looking for a rules discussion for 5E, as I assumed |
| 1:51.6 | much has changed. This podcast, of course, avoids talking about the rules at all, and yet it is |
| 1:56.8 | exactly what I needed. I did eventually get around to finding some tutorials for the rules, |
| 2:01.7 | but this podcast did so much more for me. Inspired me to create, to dream, to focus on my storytelling, |
| 2:07.6 | and to engage in the process playing a game with my friends. I have now completed my binge |
| 2:12.5 | of the backlog and think I'm going to have to become a dragon because I miss story time. |
| 2:19.2 | Yes. |
