This is the third and final short I recorded for the Player's Handbook 2 release on D&D Game Day. My intention was to set the situation for each of the sketches in three of the most "cliche" locations for an adventuring party to meet: at an adventurer's guild, at an inn, and in a dungeon cell. All three of these shorts played on War Pig Radio on that day and I remember desperately trying to bulldoze my way through them to get them all done in the week leading up to it. Harrowing, but lots of fun!

This is the second of the three spots I did for the PHB2 release. Hooray for drunken player characters! ;)

Before we get to The Great Debate, I wanted to share this series of three audio shorts with you. I did them for War Pig Radio for the release of the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook 2. I've edited this first one just a little bit for copyright reasons, so you may notice that one of the names has been changed. I'll let you sort out which one it is. :)
