Keep on the Borderlands Deep Dive 02: An Officer and a Normalman

from Critical Lit · host Dan Dillon, Amelia Som, Sal Tamarkin, I-Hsien Sherwood

Dammit granite! If these walls could talk, they'd blush and tell you "murder hole" is not the preferred nomenclature. Gygax continues to wow us with his commitment to verisimilitude (of a sort), but where do all these armored men keep the bathrooms? Fortunately, this keep is at the top of the hill, not the bottom. Just don't ask who's feeding the snakes. In this episode: Rumor Table, Areas of the Keep 1-27, economics, outhouses, switching sides.
