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?
