Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to say that Patron Deities episode 168 is going to come out a little later than usual. I don't know exactly when you can expect it, but probably not until the weekend at the earliest. I am experiencing a pretty bad bout of my old voice problem, and given my heavy workload in the run-up to exams I need to space out recording and heavy teaching days to let my voice rest. Thank you for your patience and I apologise for the delay!

Alphabetisation sometimes puts very similar monsters next to each other. Honestly, this one's mainly about how mechanically complicated a monster should be. Spoiler: it depends.

Patreon backer Brian brings you this special episode all about weird monsters from classic comics. Comic-book writers of the 60s created strange and silly monsters to populate their books. What can we learn from them?

The last collection of Phoenician deities is even more enigmatic than the previous one, if you can imagine that.

One of them wants to build a hive and be left alone, and one of them wants to hunt down and kill wizards for environmental reasons. Dark Sun, everybody!

A lot of gods in today's episode, but not all that much about any of them. Enjoy anyway!

The king of the city and a deity no one can define star in today's episode. I just realised that of course the theme song of Patron Deities is "Dance of the Priestesses of Dagon," which I do not refer to in the episode itself.

There are a lot of gods named Baal Something-or-other. This is one of them. If I ever say I'm going to do a pantheon that crosses over substantially with a dozen different cultures and regions, remind me of this season.

Dark Sun does love to take a classic D&D creature and put spikes all over it, and there's none spikier (metaphorically) than these flesh-eating halflings!
