In this special episode Mark Meredith of Dice Monkey Radio and Jeff Greiner of The Tome Show produced an accidental team-up. They both, individually and independently, conducted an interview with R.A. Salvatore, author of Charon's Claw and the rest of the Drizzt series of novels and more. Rather than give you two Tome Show Production episodes in a row interviewing the same person, we spliced them together into one special combo episode.
Mark talks to Mr. Salvatore about the process of writing Drizzt novels, where he came from, how he got to the adventures of Charon's Claw, and more. Jeff talked about some of the deeper issues of the story, the unreliability and flawed nature of the characters, integrating the stories into the Forgotten Realms, and more.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT CLEAN! Here it is...there are now more Tome Show episodes than there are 4e Themes and Classes combined! Tracy was left entirely in charge of this episode and she opted to do something truly revolutionary in this podcast episode about gaming...we played a game. It was a fun surprise to do this episode...although this is a truly adult episode. We've always tried to keep the show clean, but I guess we got a bit blue in our goofy fun when we recorded this.
I'm going to leave it at that and let you enjoy the insane stupid gaming.

In June we read Spinner of Lies for the Tome Show Book Club, a novel by Bruce Cordell. This is the second book about this character, but each is intended to stand alone. It's also a Forgotten Realms novel about a character who is not natively from the Realms. Joining us for the discussion of this Book Club is Andy Myhr and the author. We are reading chapters 1 through 12 of Marshelia Rockwell's Eberron novel Skein of Shadows in July we'd love to have you join us.
Make sure you stay tuned after the interview for a book review from long time contributor Geoffrey D. Winn.
