Chase and Caelyn grind a pair of well-worn axes in this episode, beginning with crowdfunding campaign culture before moving onto to generative AI in creative fields. Later, they discuss the games hitting their personal tables -- Chase has dipped into a rare sequel, while Caelyn is discovering why Sword World has remained so cherished over the decades. In the Question Dungeon, the pair find a surprising adversary in a simple ask: must rulebooks explain what an RPG is?
