Synopsis:

Wondrous Podcast (requires attunement by a listener)

To attune this +2 podcast of listening, you must first be interested in the tabletop rpg Dungeons & Dragons.

After one episode, the listener may experience laughter and enjoyment at a high enough level to move their disposition one step towards the positive (for example, an indifferent listener may find their attitude has changed to friendly).

After the second episode, the listener will experience a permanent +1 to their intelligence score for all skill checks pertaining to the game Dungeons & Dragons, caused by the discussion of how the game is played, different variant rules and homebrew options, and ways to become a better player or game master. At this point, the listener is fully attuned to the Winged Badger Tavern.

Regulars at the tavern include Josh, Matt, Jake, and Wash. The actual campaign they're playing takes place in a homebrew world that the chat helped create on the twitch channel WingedBadgerGaming, and is interactive when listened too from that same channel.
