A very fun NPC-forward creature. While it has some neat combat abilities, it’s potential as a “stepping-stone” & “quest-giver”, and also what it offers as rewards and what it wants in return…well it makes for a great way to change up the adventuring tune without interrupting the rhythm!

A very different kind of creature calls for a very different kind of episode!
Brainchild almost follows our usual format, but takes a turn when Freeman digs into an experimental side-project he conducted to get some real player-like reactions to this creature’s setup!
A big thanks to our Patrons for getting involved (and sorry for also being left in the dark…until now)!

A very different kind of Aberration, and a really fun battlefield controller! This creature coupled with the right retinue could really messed a part’s day up!
Homebrew & Strategy: After a little more investigation and the help of the Pathfinder 2e Reddit community in this post we found there are lots of creatures immune the Sickened condition, the vast majority of which are Constructs! So, we weren’t too far off :P
Thanks to Ace Lee and TV's Michael Robert Bernard for voicing the intro!

As a thanks to her longtime dedication to our cause we asked listener peace-joy-pancakes to pick a second creature (you may remember she gave us the Jorogumo in the TTRPG 13th Age)! She’s supported us for years now and we very much appreciate her fandom. It’s a great joy to talk with her regular in our public Discord!
Nixie was a really fun one, and quite in depth. A lot of information hit the cutting room floor on this one as the folklore inspirations for this creature reach far and wide! Buckle up for another fickle Fey!
