Greg Tito (@gregtito) is joined by co-host Bart Carroll (@bart_carroll) to chat about superheroes and kids puking. Sage Advice – Jeremy Crawford speaks about stealth, but you need to roll Wisdom (Perception) check to determine if you can hear him.

James Haeck loves telling stories, making new friends, and growling out the gnarly voices of chromatic dragons to his terrified players. He's always working on the next D&D project, whether it's editing EN World EN5ider magazine, designing for the D&D Adventurer's League, starting kobold revolutions at Kobold Press, or even collaborating with Matthew Mercer on the Critical Role Campaign Guide. He's been in the Plane of Fire (Southern California) for the past four years, and is overjoyed to return home to Seattle.
