Back when Judge Jim, Jeffrey and Jobe started Spellburn, they were mainly setting out to verbally pore over the new Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG.   Eight years later, Spellburn is here to stay, but there are other great podcasts about DCC out there, including the Foreign Beggars, Ravenlord and Dirt Boy Blues Actual Play podcasts done by Harrison Hunt and friends, known collectively as the Tabletop Twats.   We’re excited to have another International DCC superstar with us today!

While defying the gods is no longer viewed as a crime, as it was in ancient Greece, it is regarded as a tragic flaw in the human psyche. That said, if you’ve read anything on the Land of Hubris, World of Visceral Adventure, you’re not surprised that it spawns from the DCC community. It may be hubristic of us, but we’re pretty proud of this episode.

So today, we’ll take a look at the amazing contributions made by folks like us for our community way back in 2016. Stuff referenced in this episode!
