    Rogues, Transformers, and Used Books!

    Recorded on the road in 2019, Brian and Dusty are out shopping for RPG books at their favorite used book store. Along the way, they discuss several topics including how Chris’ rogue play shapes their understanding of the Rogue Class. They discuss their purchases, including what they found and what they didn’t. The show is rounded out with a long discussion about why we do what we do, why do we collect, and where do we draw the line with our hobbies.
