This week, the BtM gang breaks down OneD&D, the supposed future of Dungeons & Dragons announced in August by Wizards of the Coast. Some big changes are on the way - current playtesting hints at major shifts in the way characters are created, and major shifts in combat including critical hits, grappling and much more! Zach, Stephen and Drej break down the biggest changes for your listening pleasure, and explore what they mean for the direction of the game, and where the strategic tradeoffs might be. PLUS a Design of the Week creature that makes petrification look like a plus - the Stone Salamander!
