So Dan & Al decided it was time once again to do yet another installment of the playlist! Featuring more Fates Warning, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Led Zeppelin, Dio, Witch's Witch, & Uriah Heep.

Al & I decided to answer a few random questions. Unfortunately at least two of them seemed to be traps to get us heat. So I've been sitting on this episode since May, debating with myself whether or not I should post it, which created a logjam.

Synopsis: Dan & Al discuss the recent big news that D&D is finally returning to these two classic settings!

A continuation of Dan & Al's gamer's playlist. Featuring Blue Oyster Cult, Blind Guardian, Deep Purple, Fates Warning (again), Black Sabbath, Manowar, & HammerFall.

Dan & Al decided to create the ultimate D&D musical playlist. This selection includes Triumph, Fates Warning, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Rainbow, Metallica, & Queen.

With all the talk around the community on the 2 classic settings that are coming, I thought it would be interesting to predict what we may be seeing next year. Of course, if you saw my record in my family's NFL Picks game, you would take any predictions from me with a huge grain of salt.

SYNOPSIS: I got my PoD stuff from the DM's Guild finally, so it's time to discuss the quality of the legacy products that are available.

SPECIAL GUEST: Al SYNOPSIS: I went and found ten D&D questions of various levels of stupidity for Al and I to debate (or agree) over.

SYNOPSIS: There's gold in them there.... um... sewers or something? After a very stressful few weeks, Dan's back with his take on the newish Waterdeep - Dragon Heist, because it would be silly to do the review for DotMM first.

SYNOPSIS: Get ready to raid the Tomb of Damara again! This time I'm taking on the AD&D 2nd Edition First Quest box set, which was created as an intro to the AD&D game. We'll talk about the contents, the pared-down rules, the adventures, and of course the CD.
