Really enjoyed the in-depth DMG review. It must have been a ton of work, but it made for great listening and I appreciate the nuanced perspectives.
Wonderful D&D News & Reviews

I don’t listen to The World Tree Burns so I can’t speak to that show, but the rest of the shows hosted here on The Tome Show are a wonderful place to hear news & reviews of D&D and its related products. In particular, Behind The DM Screen is a huge inspiration for me and always gives me ideas for my own characters and games.
Y’all’s Book Club Series is Trash

If you didn’t like Perdido Street Station, and didn’t finish Perdido Street Station, then don’t post a book club episode titled Perdido Street Station. Doing so invites fans of Perdido Street Station to download the episode expecting a discussion of one of their favorite books, only to have their time wasted. The Edition Wars series is great though.
