In this week's episode, we weigh some D&D books in order to scientifically calculate the page count of the upcoming Ravnica setting book for D&D. Talking of which, we discuss the new setting, along with rumours of Eberron's return. Note that this podcast was recorded shortly before those settings were announced on July 23rd, yet is remarkably accurate. We also cover the latest news and play our favourite game in all the world.

Today we talk about the the size of the tabletop RPG market - with statistics and everything! - and Dungeons & Dragon's share of that market. We also reveal the things which caught our eye this week, incuding the Fall of Delta Green and Dusk City Outlaws; three white men talk about sexual harassment reports from Origins; we play our favourite game in all the world, stumble through a new sketch in which an old man tried to give a quest to a noble knight, and answer your GM questions. What could be better than that?

In our pilot episode, we stumble around trying to find our feet, and somehow our sound engineer Darryl manages to find some useable content and turn it into a podcast! In this episode we discuss what caught our eyes this week, Morrus has a go on Pathfinder 2nd edition at UK Games Expo, we play our world famous game "Guess what this Kickstarter is about by just hearing the title and nothing else", and cover some recent new releases. We also answer a couple of listener questions about GM screens and Session Zeros. Or Sessions Zero. One of those. Please support us on Patreon!

Coming soon to your favourite audio device is a new podcast all about the latest tabletop roleplaying game news! It won't necessarily be accurate, or informative, or even competent, but we will try to have fun! Join Morrus and Peter Coffey each week. You might learn something. But you probably won't.
