Episode 563: The Only Thing Gelatinous Cubes Fear is a Trip to Target with a 3-Year-Old, with Shelly Mazzanoble

One Bad Mother

You enter the main chamber of the Cave of Woe (aka Target) and your Level 1 Fighter child starts screaming. Roll a d20 with disadvantage to see if you have a breakdown! Shelly Mazzanoble, author of How to Dungeon Master Parenting: A Guidebook for Gamifying the Child-Rearing Quest, Leveling Up Your Skills, and Raising Future Adventurers, joins Biz's party to talk monster faces, Stephs Curry and Furry, and the family treasure of playing Dungeons & Dragons together.
