Love/Hate relationship
I’ve listened to a few things from the Tome Show, and I absolutely loved Behind the DM Screen. So when I saw reviews for books I either liked or was interested in reading, I thought hearing the opinions of people involved in the show would be great. I was deeply disappointed. The woman, Tracy, who was reviewing the books along with Jeff and Simon seemed to make all the same arguments that a freshman who decided to major in women’s studies would make. Regardless of which book I listened to, she would find some reason why is was anti-woman. It became so obnoxious that I could not keep listening. I feel like the guys felt that way too, because they would try to defend the books (oftentimes pointing out that the women in them were being treated poorly specifically by the “bad guys” of the books, or that it was portraying the treatment of women in the world, rather than the author “perpetuating rape culture”) but to no avail. There are good things in this podcast, but watch out for the bad.

This is by far the best overall DnD podcast. Not only is it informative but also fun to listen too. As someone that stopped playing DnD during 2e and and started back up with 4e The Tome Show helped me understand and enjoy 4e more than any other podcast. Keep up the great work Jeff!
