Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! For our second Parleys at the Platter quarterly special, I invited Dr. Holly Ordway, Alexi Sargeant, and Katherine Spitler to discuss something that I'm not sure is talked about all that often: the critical role (pun win) that Tolkien and his Catholicism had in helping to shape Dungeons & Dragons, modern fantasy, and nerd culture at large. So join this fellowship of faith, as we discuss how the Catholicity of Middle Earth and the Legendarium helped to shape the history and flavor of "The World's Greatest Roleplaying Game".

We join the table of my niece, Lexi! She's never been a stranger to playing pretend, fairy stories, or using her imagination. So she rolled some dice and made an Astral Elf that is friends with a dragon! I don't think she's old enough to understand the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or the Radiohead reference, but she's pretty "Lucky" that her "Subterranean Homesick Alien" wasn't some kind of "Paranoid Android".

We join the table of Kevin Ngo, a long listener, first time podcast guest! Inspired by his children, he wanted to make a trio of bobble-headed goblin siblings who run a neutral, safe zone in the dungeon with access to clean water and fresh turkey legs (if you have the coin!) Sisters Rosewald Daybrace (The Money), Arili (The Muscle), and their brother Finn Wheatly (The Cook) need your help to chase down some gnolls who committed the greatest sin in the food industry: DINING AND DASHING!

We join the table of Alex a.k.a. LegalKimchi from YouTube! With some inspiration, we roll the dice to create Bo Jang, who is a metal/armor mimic. From a subset of symbiotic mimics who prefer to eat minerals and organics in order to increase their density, this old gal is as tough as beskar and light as mithril! She and her bearer, the illustrious Paul the Avenger, need the party's help to stave off war by playing match-maker at a gala event.

We join the table of Steven Trinkl, my fraternity brother and brother-in-arms as we joined the TTRPG hobby! We roll the dice to create a tabaxi named Mirquo, a proficient falconer with a companion falcon named Graybill. He hunts for food and skins, but also serves a benevolent faction akin to the Harpers. Mirquo could use your help returning a library book...that's stuck on a pirate ship...in a town overrun by sea beasts!

We join the table of Sam Rusk, who brings an infamous NPC from her own home game to the table, simply known as "The Pumpkin Lady". We roll the dice to reveal a true name, but she's an otherwise mysterious archfey who is morally gray and highly questionable. Rumors abound of her lavish rewards with those who are loyal.

We return to the table of Mark Wilson and roll the dice to create a LEEROY JENKINS, except, not THAT Leeroy. No, this one charged into a dungeon, got killed, respawned as a vampire, and now just wants to be a reclusive painter in a remote desert town. But when his prized portrait is stolen and the thief flees into the sun-scorched sands, he will need the help of heroes to retrieve the work and perhaps save his soul in the process...
