The D&D Insider has made a major update to the Character Builder application, arguably the most popular reason to have a DDI account. Some people love it, some people hate it. I have Aaron Roudabush and Tracy Hurley on to discuss it along with an interview with Trevor Kidd, the Community Manager from Wizards of the Coast. I hope you enjoy!

Dungeons are an iconic part of the game, but Tracy hates them. Mike and I take up the task of teaching Tracy the beauty of the dungeon. We discuss some D&D news, get to know our guests, build a dungeon concept for Tracy's game, and then conclude with some advice on how to be a player in a dungeon game.

MasterPlan is D&D software with a lot of help for DMs to get their game organized. I've been accused of not paying any attention to this program, so to prove that I have nothing against it I called in Andy Aiken, creator of MasterPlan to tell us all about it.
