Analytic Dice

Happy New Year! In this episode of Analytic Dice we play the much beloved, and often maligned, Dungeons & Dragons 2024 by Wizards of the Coast. Analytic Dice is a monthly podcast in which we, Kevin and Gabe, analyze a tabletop roleplaying game system or setting. Before recording each episode we will have played the specific role-playing game or setting under discussion. While there is no perfect system or setting, people do have preferences, and this podcast will explore our actual play experiences with different mechanics, revealing the great, the good, and our opinion on the pain points inherent in each system or setting adaptation.

Check out Dungeons & Dragons at your Friendly Local Gaming Store, search for it in your browser... you'll find it.
