YOUR HOSTS: Dan & Al. SYNOPSIS: In this episode, we take a time-warp backwards to when TSR decided to start publishing novels to accompany the RPG products. We talk about the Endless Quest books and the beginnings of the Dragonlance, Greyhawk, and Forgotten Realms novel sets, and how they helped to shape the D&D multiverse.

YOUR HOST: Dan. SYNOPSIS: This week, Dan takes you through the historical journey of the entry-level sets for D&D, from the Holmes Basic set through the 5e PDFs. This nostalgia trip is rife with free dice, CDs with shitty acting, and badly-timed releases.

YOUR HOST: Dan. SYNOPSIS: Poop goes the news dump. Core rule PDFs, new storyline, cons, and a Kickstarter that killed a minis company. All this and more for you as we head into summer & convention season!

YOUR HOST: Dan. SYNOPSIS: Today we take the inane and rather crazy conspiracy theories and meld them into your D&D campaign! We take three existing theories, as well as create a bat-shit crazy one from scratch, as well as walk through how to do this on your own.

YOUR HOST: Dan SYNOPSIS: Back in for May with a retro-review of one of the environmental books of the 1st edition era! Dan gives his opinions & information on this tome of rules that will cause damage if you don't wear your jacket like your Mom told you to.

YOUR HOSTS: Dan & Tim. SYNOPSIS: Number 50! That's some kind of milestone, right? Right? Anyway, in this listener-requested topic, we talk about our own thoughts & techniques concerning unscripted DMing, or what is also referred to as the ability to bullshit at will.

YOUR HOST: Dan. SYNOPSIS: First off is a quick explanation pertaining to the absence of David. Hopefully we can get him back soon! This time around though is another retro review: Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium from late 4th edition! I realize that four years old (it came out in 2011) isn't very retro, but it's now a previous edition, so it is, so nyah.

YOUR HOST: Dan. SYNOPSIS: Time once again for the news to dump into your iPod! Hopefully it wipes. This month has news concerning online e-tools, new products, vague tweets from WotC, new ideas in articles, and more cons!

YOUR HOST: Dan. SYNOPSIS: Dan uses the troubleshooting method to help you get your DM/D&D mojo back if you feel the gamer blahs. You'll notice it all seems to fit in with previous discussions.

YOUR HOSTS: Dan, Tim, Shannon. SYNOPSIS: Tim starts with the situation that sets up today's topic. Should DMs give the monsters the right to act as tactical, intelligent and bloodthirsty as they are? Or should punches be pulled?
