Welcome back!

We're a couple of days late on this one, sorry. There is a little trouble with the audio on Adam's line and we weren't able to smooth it out so please accept our apologies about the sound quality on this one.

In this episode Brendan, Adam and Ben sit around and just sort of chat about where they are at with gaming in a style very reminiscent of older episodes. We talk about:

What really makes D&D, D&D?

What have we been up to lately?
