The Monster Madness Tournament

In an improvised fictional world, Lord Beran Murphial (a Lawful Good benevolent lord) summoned the greatest battle masters of the world and oversaw an epic tourney between two teams of 8 scrub monsters picked out of the D&D5E Monsters Manual. Lord Beran did this all to try and connect with his shit son and see him smile, though it didn't work and he ended up exploding. To the winner went the real life opportunity to pick the next book they read on the podcast.

Emily Axford, a woman who was scantily clad in vines and twigs with her nipples tastefully covered by 2 leaves but her vagina clearly exposed, headed the team: "Defenders of the Forest AKA: Forest WIN-aker AKA: The Green Deck AKA: They are Definitely In fact Giants AKA: The Monster Marsh AKA: Mourning Woods", an army of forest creatures. Caldwell "The Belt Master" Tanner, a man who wore nothing but belts, headed the "Bad News Bugbears", a group of monstrous rejects.
