Pokemon Trainers
You can look at our shorts if you want to. Garin and Dan create Pokemon trainers inspired by themselves because they’re super narcissistic. With three monster squads, they argue over what qualifies as ranged damage and if one turtle can make up for a whole team’s weakness.

Tome Of Warfare
Brawl Stars (that’s a different game) Roq and Borivik face off with so much fightitude that there isn’t much to discuss when it comes to magic damage. Don’t worry though, Dan finds plenty to discuss in control and Garin gets annoyed having to listen to it. Check out Tome of Warfare for new classes you’ve never rolled before!

Infinite Planes
There are so many places to travel in this great wide D&D world so why stick to the material plane? Garin and Dan explore some of the lesser known origins in this fascinating work by a talented author. Dan is dead set on making dark characters for every class and Garin builds a llama that requires the help of his kid’s mama.

Saltmarsh-ins
Quadruple the fun with four creators bringing three products all about one big element, Water. This episode features so much content you’ll want to check out for a seafaring campaign or even just a brief boat ride down Dawson’s Creek.

Heir BnB (You're the Worst Part III)
Our third installment of You’re The Worst, wherein we make worst possible characters for each other, see’s a perfect example of the garbage you can find both in official content and across the internet. Garin tests Dan’s patience as a cohost and brother while Dan shows just how much he’s learned about what it takes to make a trash PC. Crit Nation - https://www.critacademy.com/crit-nation

Book of the Path
Recorded live from our roach ridden AirBnB on location at Origins Game Faire, we dip back into the professional content of Alex Clippinger with these Barbarian builds. Garin’s badger would be right at home in a time traveling phone booth and Dan’s is something with rage, probably….wait does anyone read shownotes?

Twisted Mithral
Driving reference, car reference, crash reference! There that takes care of the on-brand humor, now get into this episode for two characters that know their way around a battle cart in this feature of ERF Jordan’s “Twisted Mithral”. Dan pulls some trash moves but Garin appreciates the effort so everyone wins.

Origins Recap
This week, Garin and Dan take a break from character builds to discuss their first Gaming Convention, Origins 2019! Being their first con, some of their "hot takes" may not be all that novel to you, but it's worth a listen, you spoiled child. Guest star: Jon the Roach.

Fat Neal
This is a true test of co hosts. Garin and Dan try and create the same character with nothing to go on except a character name “Fat Neal”. The real argument this time becomes about who better encapsulated the essence of Fat Neal. Garin opts for a soft, passive route while Dan insists that you are not bound by your name but can instead write your own destiny.

Crit Nation!
Once this episode is over you’re far from done listening because chances are you haven’t been through the entire catalog of Crit Academy, our partner and friend. This successful podcast has been running for years and even wrote original content that we feature this week. Dan will make your skin crawl with his inspiration and Garin builds yet another child prodigy character. If you haven’t noticed 3 of his last 4 have been that way.

Apocalypse Now!
It is our unbiased opinion that there is no other pair you’d want by your side at the end of the world than us. Not only are we handsome and charismatic, we also routinely create fresh characters so there will never be a dull day in our bunker. Garin steps into the skin of the undead and Dan is straight fire.

Kobold Press Featurette!

Oh Henry! (Level 2; Magic Items)
Abandon all notions you have about when a character should receive weapons of a certain rarity because these level 2 characters are positively stacked with all the rarest treasures. Dan tugs at Garin’s heart strings with a build that hits close to home while Garin brings in one of the most memorable ranged categories the Lab has even seen.

Book Of House
Its flavor vs favor as the boys create two very Ally Assist heavy characters in this gonzo entry to the Lab.

Blackpowder Pirates
There’s a lot on the line this week as Garin and Dan make a return to the more competitive show format of old with an actual prize going to the winner. Dan reaches down deep to find a new friend while Garin creates the fanciest pirate you ever done met. As a special treat, you’ll find a colorful cast of high seas characters that should definitely be NPCs in your game.

Mordenkainen's Codex of Allies
A nature battle for the ages hits the Lab this week as Garin completes his 180 degree turn on one of the most poopoo’d classes while Dan blends a couple classes together in just one of his tricky tricks.
