Welcome to Character Build! Riccarda Eickenberg (she/her) and I sit down to discuss the importance of science in organized religion (not what you think, I promise), our biggest actual-play influences, and playing characters for multiple years.

Episode Glossary:
-Actual-Play- An audio or video program where people play a TTRPG for audience consumption. The conceit is that the stream, show, or podcast is not scripted but played “in real time”.
[A note from Kyle: Among the dozens of excellent actual play programs out there for consumption the few Riccarda and I mention happen to be some of the most well known:
-Critical Role
-Adventure Zone
-Dimension 20
-Not Another D&D Podcast (NADDPOD)]
-Bag of Holding- A popular magical item that can hold up to 500 lbs while only weighing 15 lbs. Think Marry Poppins
-BBEG- Stands for big bad evil guy, typically a (or THE) major antagonist of an adventuring party
-Crit- Shortened for Critical Hit. In D&D a Crit is a Natural 20 on the roll of a D20 roll, the best possible result
-Deck of Many Things- A popular magical item in D&D in where characters can draw cards at a chance for incredibly great fortune…or utter despair.
-Familiar- Another word for a pet that often has some type of magical ability to support your character
-PVP- Short for Player versus Player
-Content Warning:
-mentions of death of a loved one,
-grief and mental health,
-mentions of peril involving a building fire
-Language level: PG-13
