51 - Gargoyle
Fast-food clown generators, selective cruelty, and the most elemental Elemental.
Featuring an interview with Jeff LaSala, writer of The Ecology of the Gargoyle for Dragon magazine #423.
Jeff LaSala lived in Germany for only one year, long ago, and really needs to go back if only to see some more castles and pick up an untranslated copy of Die unendliche Geschichte. He is responsible for The Silmarillion Primer, the more recent and much shorter Second Age Primer, the Deep Delvings series, and a few other assorted articles on this site. Tolkien nerdom aside, Jeff wrote a Scribe Award–nominated D&D novel, produced some cyberpunk stories, and works in production for Macmillan and the Tor Publishing Group. He is sometimes on Twitter.

Brilliant!
This podcast is always entertaining for my nerd brain. It’s given me loads of encounter and campaign ideas. Please give us more!
very shallow dive
it’s basically two guys who recently read the wikipedia entry on things and then telling us what they thought. they even throw in opinions on various items of pop culture and offer shallow opinions. i listened to the dragon episode, ghosts, monks and genies, and i’m done…i do not recommend.
Always entertaining
While they invariably stray from the topic even the anecdotes are fun and interesting to listen to. I’m eagerly awaiting the next episodes!
