Tori gets to moderate this episode. Arcadia starts us off with the topic of finding the right table for you. Finding nightmare tables proves the old adage, no D&D is better than bad D&D. Sometimes you gotta kiss a lot of frogs to find the right partner. Finding the right group of people to game with is key because they can turn into lifelong friendships. On the other hand, sitting at the wrong table can sour you on the game as a whole. Arcadia sums up the actual thing about gaming: you don’t play, you create. Malcolm comes back from break with one of the new(est) perks: the fact that this is therapy. Gaming has all sorts of therapeutic benefits. Being able to work through things like trauma while gaming is the best. This is just starting to be an actual thing, which is amazing. Malcolm tells us about Kate Welch and how cool she is! Tori gets to tell the story about how gaming saved her life as well.
