Jean Wells & The Palace of the Silver Princess

Second Bananas

The Banana Boys are back with their first full episode recorded since the pandemic! They are, of course, still recording remotely & the sound quality is still a little rough in places, but Second Bananas is BACK baby!

Jean Wells was the first woman to solely author a D&D Module. That module, "The Palace of the Silver Priness" never made it to print, because apparently it was just too horny! As The Banana Boys excavate the history of D&D's "Raciest Module", it becomes apparent that every D&D Module is secretly horny in its own way, and Jean was just the wrong girl in the wrong place at the wrong time.
