It's finally here! A long time coming, but Dice Monkey Radio Episode 5 finally got itself edited! On this episode, we talk to my dad, Scotte Meredith, about what D&D was like back in the old timey days before DDI and numbered editions. Hope you enjoy!

Rodney Thompson, Wizards of the Coast Advanced Designer joins us for this episode. He talks about his work ranging from Star Wars Saga Edition to Lords of Waterdeep..and of course D&D. He gives some advice for DMs on how to handle splitting the party and he helps players go with the flow and teaches us how to handle it when the DM makes a call or house rule that we don't agree with.

In February 2012 the Tome Show Book Club read Erik Scott DeBie's Shadowbane, a Forgotten Realms novel set in Luskan with characters developing out of his previous book Downshadow. This book is part of the larger D&D novels story called the Abyssal Plague, although background knowledge of that event and the events of Downshadow are not needed (Jeff had not read Downashadow before this book and Tracy had not read any Abyssal Plague books). According to Jeff, "DeBie understands what it means to write in a shared world better than any other author writing in the Forgotten Realms and in Shadowbane he has crafted the perfect Realms story."
If you want to know more bout Erik visit his website. If you want to know more about the Realms swing by Candlekeep and the FR Wiki.
