Something different for this episode! I have a group of friends that I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons with for over a year and we've recently started a new campaign for Dungeons and Dragons. 

For those of you who don't know what Dungeons and Dragons is, it’s a roleplaying game where people assume the role of a specific character, and play out a storyline, usually written or followed by the DM (known as the dungeon master).  

I hope you guys have fun listening to this!  

Characters: 

Hugo playing as Eeldor 

Leo playing as Adric 

Chris playing as Freed 

Katie playing as Augriss 

Peter playing as Belwyn

I've been staying with my friend Karmen over the last few days, and asked some of her friends what they would want to know the most about her. This is the result! :) 

Possibly a part 2 on the horizon?

I recently met Nick through my friend Karmen and wanted to ask him about his experience in and around Taipei.
