CWT 16: Barbaric Brawlers & Battle Masters
Peoples, Peasants, Pheasants, perk up your pointy ears as we proudly present our playful partaking of Play Test 7! This podcast will ponder points profiling:
Poppy Popular Sorcerers,
Saddle up to the sounds of sardonic sassing of slutty sorcerers that sling silly spells from sunup to sundown.
And Properly Prepared Fighters,
Freely feel our feelings of fancy as we freak for fun fighters from full fisticuffs to fanciful footwork in the fray.
