This week, Abi (@D8bitGaming) and Alex (@MrPuddins) dive back into the regular Stats Will Roll shenanigans. This week, while diving into building a bugbear character, the duo decided to try something that goes against the grain. Instead of having them start off as a typical goblinoid/monster, the duo make this character have a good origin, making the character the child of Sunflower, an NPC from Chromatic Chimera's SteamSpell.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
