These magical minions add so much to a character. They're tiny strategic powerhouses that possess pure condensed roleplay potential. They're the dark matter of RPGs. Yet the same problems pop up again and again with these critters. They're easily forgotten, it's hard to get others invested in them, we keep leaning on the one gag that got a laugh until they're just a punchline, or with a massive amount of backstory, they start to take up too much game time. This episode is about creating just enough familiar to make them shine.
