Welcome to Chromatic Roses! A podcast about what it’s like for two midwestern women to play D&D. Caitie Ninegar and Soren G. Hargrove breakdown their experiences of coming to the table for the first time and how they feel they’ve leveled up since they’ve started.
Ya'll ever been in a sticky situation and just wished you could gain a lil perspective to help you out? Perhaps a level headed voice of reason, to make things make sense? Or even better, a couple of Midwest women, who specifically have an interest in the spicy tea that was being served at your last TTRPG table?
Well, whaddaya frikin' know.
This week in the Rosegarden, Soren and Caitie are back at it- "it" being browsing some of the interesting(and sometimes poorly written) posts on DNDAITA. So strap in while they translate and dissect some sticky situations.

Character Alchemy: Outlander Edition
It's time for another edition of Character Alchemy!
This week, Soren and Caitie sit down to take a closer look at one of their favorite characters: CLAIRE ELIZABETH BEAUCHAMP... well, depending on where you are at in the books.
Anyway,
Listen in while our favorite gardeners discuss what it might take (on paper and in your big beautiful brain) to play a character inspired by Claire in your own D&D campaign!
