Episode 15: Bestiaries Quintupled & Bait and Switch Games

Til Dice Do Us Part

Maybe your brain is struggling in the summer heat, but we hope you can still give our latest Quiz a go. This time round, George has prepared a list of monsters where some but not all first originated in Monster Manual V - yes, third edition got up as far as a fifth Monster Manual! Ailsa is going to have to rack her brains to deduce which of these bizarre creatures are just bizarre enough to have been invented in the dying days of an edition when you've got to somehow fill out one more book.
After that, everyone's favourite Daemon comes along with the mailbag to let us get into another Ask A GM. Jessica has sent in a message asking what to do when you take part in a game that has the GM explicitly promise you one thing - say, a totally non-supernatural murder mystery - only to deliver another thing when they turn around and say "SURPRISE! THERE'S ZOMBIES!" What sort of twists are a twist too far, and how can players and GMs make sure their expectations sync up?
Before the episode is finished we'll also have time to find out how Twike has taken to her role as occasional Quiz sound effect assistant, hear two thirty somethings in hysterics over an exploding cow, discover the name of the game that was possibly George's worst experience as a player, and even see a return of a previous sponsor who has a new product for all the ladies out there who want to roleplay like a girlboss.
