The gang makes a "buzzer shot" to get this episode in the can before the end of the month. We talk about "ages" of collecting thanks to listener mail. We look at the "play as the monsters" D&D supplement: PC2 Top Ballista, and there is a return of the Geek Credit segment! Remember to send your listener feedback to thisoldungeon@gmail.com and your multiple choice questions with answers to thisoldungeonquiz@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!

Your recommendations on how to fix Top Ballista could not have divurged more, but they were all awesome. Edwin’s was probably the most complete retooling I’ve heard from him, and it sounds like he wants to run it. I liked the Creature Crucibles and their race classes, but the negative XP starts seemed insurmountable from the player’s interest and character survivability perspectives. I changed it by adding XP multipliers so strong monsters started strong, but took longer to level up.
