In this episode of Chat 1 & Done, we welcome back the incomparable Coffee Horse — the DM who can turn a natural one into a natural laugh.

Plus, Coffee Horse spills the beans (literally) on his partnership with Critical Roast Coffees, teases upcoming mini-campaigns, and challenges us to rethink just how broken “broken builds” can be.

Dungeons, Decisions, and Divine Hot Wings

Welcome back to the stickiest tavern in podcasting! In this episode of Chat 1 and Done, Rudy takes the hot seat as we dive deep into the world of spite-built D&D characters, gunslingers with magical bullets, and the ethically questionable cuisine of the Forgotten Realms (divine hot wings, anyone?). We also debut a brand-new D&D quiz game: Dungeons & Decisions, where the rules are made up and your dignity is on the line. Topics include:

Characters created purely out of vengeance
What D&D races would taste best on a grill
Tabletop systems beyond 5e
Crafting mechanics that don’t suck
Our best Nat 20s, our worst Nat 1s, and one emotionally scarred teddy bear

So grab a drink, lower your standards, and get ready to roll. Just… don’t let Rudy touch the artifact. Again.
