It's been my goal since the start of the year to have one guest on every month and we're SO close to achieving it! We JUST need to book November!
Finally, we end the month trying to be hashtag topical by making a cat in Dragon Age by @greenroninpub.bsky.social.
Then, on the 16th, we have spooky month's obligatory spooky game when we look at Fate of Cthulhu by @evilhat.bsky.social!

Break!! is a new fantasy RPG inspired by anime and manga from Grey Wizard! They also were kind enough to make a cat creation guide for us, so you can follow along at home with your own cat! Follow the...
Thanks! We reached that conclusion when we didn't see any evidence of sentient nonhumans aside from the monsters through the character creation portion, but it's a good note for anyone who wants to play!
So in the future if there's a game we see has a Cat Expansion, we'll get it, but only to see if it has stats for playing as a cat that aren't in the core book. Otherwise, we'll be alerting you to its existence and then ignoring it for the rest of the episode. For Content.
So that means these supplements are really just telling us that playing a cat in this game means we aren't gonna explore the full character creation system, we aren't allowed to choose our play style, and we can't even work out on our own what our role in the party might be.
They've both had a condensed version of character creation, gave significantly fewer options in terms of class/abilities, and heavily assume an entirely different style of play from the rest of the party.
Part of why our episodes usually end up somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes is that we actually try and follow the whole character creation process from start to finish. And both of the Cat Expansions we looked at don't really give us the opportunity to do that.
