Customer Reviews
Very Good D&D discussion podcast
Ryan and Ben are fun to listen to as they talk about a single D&D topic for DMs and Players. Sometimes the same, sometimes different it's always interesting to hear even if your D&D experience is only from 1 side. Their interview shows have been with some great guests that prove to be just as entertaining.
Been listening since episode 1 and look forward to each new episode. Keep up the great work!
For DMs and Players
A great start to a fun concept that covers different aspects of tabletop role playing for DMs and players alike!
