    Return to the Mythic World of Urd

    I am a couple of days away from getting back to running my homebrew setting, this time with a city-based adventure and a table full of teenage rookies for players. Here's a little bit of new lore and a question for the audience. Also, we have calls from Jason Connerly and Mirke the Meek regarding computers and video games in D&D. Be sure and check out Mrike's new podcast (and Jason's old one).
