First, I want to make mention of the Dungeons & Dragons live streams coming to Twitch this weekend. If you are a fan of the game you might want to check out twitch.tv/dnd, Starting June 1 at 4pm Pacific Time there will be a tour of the studio, then a roundtable conversation about the new storyline…
It’s been a while since I have posted anything on the topic, but if you’ve been reading this blog a while you know I like Dungeons & Dragons. There is a lot about the game I enjoy, the storytelling, the teamwork, the puzzle solving, etc. Well, I’m not the only one who enjoys the game. Apparently…
