In The Lair of the Ginger Giant: Double, Double Podcast Trouble


Two, count 'em, TWO podcasts.

In episode Five we talk about the Ginger Giant's time at CONvergence and his time playing Pathfinder and the inspirations he got from attending various panels and how we might apply them to our games.

Episode Six is all about our first impressions of the Fifth Edition D&D Basic Rules PDF (which you can get for free at the WoTC site)

Enjoy or not as you like.
