Everyone (not Classic Gaming!) wants to be like Matt Mercer and the scripted actors at Critical Role, including Wizards of the Coast! This week we take a look at their new "actual" play and laugh. When we just can't take any more, we run their enhancement "adventure" and it turns into OUR first actual play!

Wizards of the Coast just last month sent out an open "community" survey to help them allegedly steer the ship for Dungeons & Dragons' future... did it mean anything? Not likely since they now sent a NEW, targeted "secret" survey to select D&D Beyond members. We tear down what they are looking for... and why.

Modern Gamers have just unearthed the Dungeon Turn, aka the Exploration or Game Turn and they think it is the TTRPG/D&D discovery of the milleniu millennium! We detail WHAT, WHY, and HOW the Dungeon Turn historically has always been a part of the game, and why it should be used by more tables!

Low Level play is very polarizing, even in our corner of the hobby. Some hate it, both as players and DMs! Others find it the most rewarding play in a campaign. Where does the crew fit in and how do they think Low Level play should be approached?

This week, hot on the heels of possibly the most boneheaded statement made by a rep of modern gaming, we tell the folks that think rules get in the way to learn it, live it, and love it! Plus, a CondorDM update and the news!

You know them. You are them. Dungeon Masters and DMing all fall into certain archetypes; today we breakdown the different categories -- good and bad -- and talk about how each impacts the table. It's a great conversation with RD, Kyle, Grim, and Siobhan!

We have heard the cries from the modern gamer about the "unfair" lethality of Classic Gaming and the OSR... but is it REALLY any more dangerous than 5.5e? This week we take a look into what makes a lethal game, and the differences between the old school and modern gaming.

This week, Wizards of the Coast "admitted" that 2024 D&D is really just 5.5e, after professing for years that it was not. Plus, Daniel from Driving and Dragons sits in (yes, you read that correctly), wades through the news, and talks with us about his upcoming pulp!

Ginny Di released a roundup of romance supplements and provided her "special" brand of commentary on each. We are required to EFAP this and provide some logical and non-mentally challenged commentary of our own. Can we survive her whole video or do we dump to the news?!?
