It's time to solve this occult mystery once and for all. Where is this evil entity pretending to be the long-dead McGriddle? Where are the children that have gone missing presumably kidnapped by this entity? And why is Rorick wearing a dress? Hopefully, we'll answer all these questions and more in today's episode of Criminals of Isla Numus!

Players and GMs, are you trapped with a constant stream of the traditional Medieval High Fantasy? Have you attempted to convert the Dungeons and Dragons rules in such a way as to play new themes only to be met with days of work and poor results? Perhaps, it's because you need a new system. Join Hartly Llosa, creator of the Nightbringer system to talk to us about breaking free of the D&D-only mindset and teach us how we can explore new systems, worlds, themes, and more!

While the rest of the team heads to the burger place Sauce wanted them all to meet up at, McGregor chats with his old friend MCGriddle's father Gideon and discovers that, thanks to some strange, magical ritual he ran McGriddle is back in the world of the living. Unfortunately, it's not as encouraging as it seems when Gideon casually mentions McGriddle's return might have something to do with the missing children as of late. What will Lil' Sauce handle his friend who might not be himself? Find out in this episode of Criminals of Isla Numus!

Join us for your first class at Session Zero University: Intramural One-Shots with Professor Cameron Hoogendyk (Dr. Roger James Biddenbocker) who will be sharing not only WHY you should run one-shots, but also the when, where, what, who, and how of running one-shots! Although this isn't a "required class" you'd be missing out on a lot of golden information if you don't sit down and learn the ins and outs of one-shot sessions/campaigns from long-time GM Cameron!
