"A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

This week, Kylen is joined by Kevin and Andy for a discussion about our own assumptions and biases when it comes to RPGs. By his own declaration, Gandalf is a wizard... but does that fit with our understanding of wizardry?

Join us for a super-nerdy discussion about terminology, rules, and why the things you always assumed to be true might not necessarily align when you compare them side-by-side!
