Couatl

Kill Every Monster

Season 2 of Kill Every Monster launches with the Couatl!

The Monster Manual describes the Couatl as “benevolent serpentine beings of great intellect and insight. Their brilliantly colored wings and gentle manner speak to their celestial origins.”

We are joined by Carlos Cisco.

Carlos, whose pronouns are he/him, is a newly minted narrative designer with work on the DMs guild, #iHunt, and in MCDM’s ARCADIA. Or it feels new because time got real elastic during those early days of the pandemic. His primary craft is television writing but unlike design work his ascent was not quite so propulsive, spending the past decade clawing his way up the ladder to find himself recently as a writer on Star Trek: Discovery. In the immortal and often maligned words of the Enterprise theme song “It’s been a long road, gettin’ from there to here…”

He can be found most easily on Twitter at @carlos_cisco.

We were also joined this episode by Alejandro Torres, an archaeologist, DM, and writer from Chicago.

Alejandro is writing his own Maya-themed world setting, and planning a podcast to discuss Mesoamerican representation and celebrate Latinx/Indigenous creators in the TTRPG space. He plays Milo the Halfling Fighter on the Adamo_AS and Morphos_XL Twitch channels every other Wednesday. He loves to chat about Maya archaeology, podcasting, and TTRPGs on Twitter at @Tonal_teka.
