Dungeons and Dragons Lore - Illithids

Season 2, Ep. 5
•

This week the Lore Boys are diving deeper into one of Ethan's favorite topics: it's Dungeons & Dragons lore! We're talking about the Illithid, an alien race hellbent on eating (and maybe other, less savory things) with YOUR brain!


We find out just how many handlers James needs to live his day-to-day life; we talk about slave-owning, plantation running squids; we discuss possible merchandising options like Lore Boys brine solution; and we reveal our secret mix of phlegms and spices. So stick your tadpoles into our brine pool and cuddle up next to this Elder Brain.


Make sure to follow us on iTunes and across all our social media, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Also check us out on twitch if you've ever wanted to see us play the games we talk about.


As always, we owe at least one delicious, delicious brain to Eric Skiff for the use of his song, A Night of Dizzy Spells, as our show's theme song.
