D&D Court: Big Moves, Vibes Combat, and the Tale of Maximum Groin (w/ Branson Reese!)
Summary
Supreme Crit Justices Axford, Murphy, and Tanner, along with guest Branson Reese and bailiff Jake Hurwitz, adjudicate D&D disputes. They address a player who ruined a long heist by forcing an early climax, a wizard who enthusiastically destroyed their party as a vampire thrall, and a player whose joke about a backup character caused their DM to grant excessive plot armor. The episode also critiques a new DM for controlling combat outcomes to avoid player deaths, offering humorous punishments like being skanked to death by the Aquabats.
