In this episode Jeff and Tracy sit down with Jared Rascher and Brandes Stoddard to give a brief first-look review of the newest D&D release, Keys from the Golden Vault. This review format features a timely but brief review that doesn't have as much depth as a typical Tome Show review. The idea is to give this first look and then come back later for a more standard Tome Show in-depth review after everyone has had time to read and play with the material in the book. We hope you enjoy this new format!

In this episode Jeff and Tracy sit down with Jared Rascher, Ginny Loveday, and Robert Adducci to give a brief first-look review of the newest D&D release, Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen. This review format features a timely but brief review that doesn't have as much depth as a typical Tome Show review. The idea is to give this first look and then come back later for a more standard Tome Show in-depth review after everyone has had time to read and play with the material in the book. We hope you enjoy this new format!

We hope you enjoy this new format!

This is the Tome Show's fifth surprise round first-look review. This is a newish format for reviews - it features a timely but brief review that doesn't have as much depth as a typical Tome Show review. The idea is to give this first look and then come back later for a more standard Tome Show in-depth review after everyone has had time to read and play with the material in the book. We hope you enjoy this new format!

In this episode Jeff and Tracy sit down with Brandes Stoddard, Sam Dillon, and first-time Tome Show guest Mario Ortegon to give a brief first-look review of the newest D&D release, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. This is the Tome Show's third surprise round first-look review. This is a new format for reviews - it features a timely review that is not in as much depth as a typical Tome Show review. The idea is to give this first look and then come back later for a more standard Tome Show in-depth review after everyone has had time to read and play with the material in the book. We hope you enjoy this new format!

In this episode Jeff sits down with Brandes Stoddard and Enrique Bertran (a.k.a. NewbieDM) to give a brief first-look review of the newest D&D release, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. This is the second episode in a new format for reviews - it features a timely review that is not in as much depth as a typical Tome Show review. The idea is to give this first look and then come back later for a more standard Tome Show in-depth review after everyone has had time to read and play with the material in the book. We hope you enjoy this new format!

Summary: This session features a challenging combat with Storm Wyverns... Does the entire party survive? The aftermath sees sharkface telling the truth about his crew and a how he gained his transformative powers.
Debrief: We discuss game effects that take away the ability to act (e.g. stun, paralyzed) or be effective (blinded) and how that affects the challenge of an encounter. We also briefly discuss Sam's changes to using distance and theater of the mind stylings in combat during this game. We also touch on the difficulties for the DM of playing a spellcasting enemy.

D&DeBrief episode 020 - The Coral Dog
Summary: A Coral Dog, a SkullSword, and a Book of Proofs! The party debates what to do with the dog-creature in the Hokka Temple and also try to decide what statement to write into the Book of Proofs for evaluation. As they make their plans for their journey to the temple they find Blaxley Chillingquest sitting in front of the skull sword they can't shake off. He tries to convince Axley to wield the sword and the group gets the idea the sword speaks to Blaxley. They make their way into the depths of the temple where the coral dog is to be found. The room is very different from the way it was when they were here previously. The boiling mud room has changed into a frozen ice pool. They interact with the coral altar dog and something unexpected happens! And then Bolem returns...
Debrief: This debrief is a very brief chat amongst the group. We talk about the changes in the characters and their places in the setting, and how the game is going in general.

Summary: The group settles in to take a long rest and Emmeryn has a heart to heart talk with her mother, Reyla. When she leaves Reyla's hut she has an argument with Blaxley, who seems to have been eavesdropping. Khonnos and Marcel study their maps, finding another clue as to what might be wrong with them. Khonnos and Axley find that the Book of Proofs has evaluated their first statement, but the book identifies Khonnos as Bolem.

D&DeBrief episode 017 - Goodbye Darkport, Hello Sharkface
Summary: Axley and Reyla are 'stuck' in the Curiosity with Blaxley Chillingquest and Toddeus. While the Goat discusses how to run a guild with Blaxley, Axley tries to comfort Reyla and find out if she knows anything. Meanwhile, back in the Chamber of Eyes, Marcel, Emmeryn, and Khonnos figure out how to destroy the dog statue and then Emmeryn calls on her Goddess Goras to help get them out of the Temple safely. The group is finally reunited and makes their way off of the Dark Plateau. Axley pilots the Curiosity safely back to the Tempest's Fortune and the group tries to figure out what the heck Leralak is and what he is doing. When they arrive, they find there is another ship - a large galleon - floating in the ocean a few hundred feet away from the Tempest's Fortune. There has been a message delivered by some blue goblins requesting a duel and there is a herd of sharks circling the group's ship. They set about devising a plan to deal with the pirates.
Debrief: We discuss the importance of being flexible when a player makes a PC that is specialized for a particular environment or type of campaign, but then the game ends up putting the PCs predominantly in a different environment or the entire campaign takes off in an unexpected direction.

D&DeBrief episode 016 - Finding Leralak
Summary: The group finds a way into the Cathedral of the Beak. The method used includes dancing lights, flying, invisibility, and a friendly but loud raven. They find their way to the top floor of the tower and into Leralak's laboratory. A teleportation circle brings them all to the Chamber of Eyes where they face a howling spike-haired dog-thing and Leralak, who still holds Emmeryn's mother hostage! Do they rescue her and escape? Listen to find out!
Debrief: This episode we discuss how to keep the story going when dealing with high level PC powers, the DM taking ideas from the player, and adventure bottlenecks a.k.a. how to avoid the locked door problem.

D&DeBrief episode 015 - Darkport By Night, Raven's Delight
Summary: Axley and Marcel decide to investigate the Curiosity to try and find out how fast it can travel. They stumble upon a blue goblin infestation on the island and rush back to the village to tell everyone about their findings. Meanwhile, Khonnos and Emmeryn meet with the Hokka people to discuss their plans. Upon hearing news of the goblins, Khonnos instructs them to destroy the threat while he goes with Axley, Marcel, and Emmeryn to fight a different foe. The group then departs the island and tests the ability of the Curiosity to travel between planes. They find themselves in a darker place with different rules of behavior and a price to pay. They meet the corrupt town guards and Axley makes a brazen attempt at deception. Finally, they figure out where they are supposed to go, and it is larger than they thought! How are they going to get in there?
Debrief: This episode we discuss Player Knowledge vs Character Knowledge. Also... How does a DM handle it when a particular PC has a better chance to know something compared to a different PC? How does a player handle it when there is a difference in what the PC knows compared to the player? Does this knowledge ever conflict with player agency? We touch on the idea of participation vs being an audience member, and whether a DM tells the players what their PCs missed when they are done with an adventure.

D&DeBrief episode 014 - To Gate or Not To Gate
Summary: Khonnos gives his answer to the Hokka Chief and a feast is set up in the party's honor. The group questions the living blue goblin and the dead one. They find themselves with many more questions and call on Toddeous the Goat to help them decide what to do next. They talk about the gates to the Green Plateau, find out that Marcel smells different, make a wonderful discovery and then a gruesome one.
Debrief: This episode we talk about how to promote a stream/show/game to get a game out there and gather fans. We also talk about the value of time and the value of art resources in the streaming community, as well as the difference between amateur games and streamed games with voice actors and comedians. We also touch briefly on using D&D and other roleplaying games in a clinical setting.

D&DeBrief episode 013 - The Master of the Coral
Summary: After freeing the trapped Hokka, the party finds a way to fish the spellcasting goblin out of the boiling mud, but they find a lot more than eggs in the boiling pool, and get no answers from the single living goblin in the chamber. Bolem tries to convince Khonnos to open the gate again so that they can go defeat the Howling Beast on the other side. Marcel finds an amulet and the group takes the lens as they leave the temple. When they get back to the Hokka village the group gets a surprise!
Debrief: This episode we talk about using prophecies in campaigns, player agency vs DM choices, and how to deal with player agency when one person's desired actions are directly opposed to another player's actions, and the concept of closing the loop in GMing.

D&DeBrief episode 009 - Hijinks Ensue!
Summary: Khonnos and Axley have sneaked onto the pirate ship under the cover of an invisibility spell. They search the ship and find that one of the cargo holds of the ship contains strange sacs of bluish fleshy material. Closer inspection by Khonnos reveals that they are blue goblin eggs incubating in the hold! They also find a room full of magical artifacts, no doubt stolen during the crew's piratical adventures. Lastly, they find a huge metal barrel that looks out of place aboard the ship. Axley finds a way to open the barrel and they discover that this is much more than a large tin can! Meanwhile, as Emmeryn and Marcel wait on the docks, they are approached by a two halflings. One introduces himself as Dawmer Brittlespoon and expresses that they are looking for their cousin, Axley Tillingquest. They tell him that Axley must be back at the tavern, but he seems suspicious. Axley and Khonnos escape from the ship, with a little help from an ancient ultra-rare artifact. Ulgrat comes back to the dock watch station and tries to settle the matter of damage caused by Khonnos and Axley exiting the suspected pirate ship. At the end of the negotiations the group leaves the island, possibly for the last time.
Debrief: The group discusses some magical items they found, where they want to go next, and how not-fun it is to watch the DM play out conversations between two or more NPCs. The whole point is to make things fun, so even if the players make odd choices or they roll so poorly that things go terribly wrong, the DM needs to be able to provide opportunities for the group to turn it around and salvage the situation.

D&DeBrief episode 008 - Is This a Pirate Ship I See Before Me?
Summary: This session the PCs split up! Marcel and Khonnos go to the agent's office of the Company of the Eastern Sun to see if they can get a map showing them the way to Kalport. Meanwhile, Emmeryn and Axley head to the tavern to ask Glafeis and Taruma about the name Ientarsus, which was inscribed on the fork-like tool Emmeryn found on King Crab Island. They find out some surprising information about Ientarsus and his connection to the Dwarven People from none other than Ulgrat, the Dock-Watch Captain. He tells them a DARK TALE about a shameful point in the history of the Dwarf Clans involving King Ientarsus and Dalencia, Queen of Souls, that culminated the destruction of an entire race of people. The party eventually comes together again and sets about selling some goods and obtaining supplies for their upcoming month-long journey. While trying to find a buyer for black powder, Axley sees a ship that flies a flag strangely similar to the one flown by The Red Tooth Society, a known group of pirates!
Debrief: The session went so long the team skipped a debrief this episode.

D&DeBrief episode 007 - Loose Lips Almost Sink Ships
Summary: This session the PCs have a few heart-to-heart talks with each other as they sail back to Trastenfen. Once back in town they present Ulgrat the Dockwatch Officer with the gargantuan crab. Emmeryn goes to see her father while the rest of the group finds out that the crew is spreading tales of defeating enormous crabs and telling the townsfolk that a half-crab-man is on board the ship. Can they find a map with the location of the library? Can they convince Ulgrat NOT to make crab stew out of the gargantuan crustacean? Can they stop the sailors from spreading elaborate rumors? Do they get Leukanius to the Temple without being discovered?
Debrief: The team ends the episode with discussion of where to go next and then, after a few technical difficulties, we discuss how divine spellcasting works and which spells the cleric gets to choose from when they prepare their spells each adventuring day.

D&DeBrief episode 005 - Crabs in White Satin
Summary: This session sees Marcel rejoining the group. They sneakily make their way to the standing stones where several half-crab half-man creatures are in the midst of performing a ritual. Combat ensues and the ritual is interrupted, but not before Axley and Khonnos get covered in goop, again! What does a captured half-crab-man tell the group? What do they find in the middle of the standing stones?
Debrief: The team ends the episode with more discussion of theater of the mind and having helpful sketches, but not tactical maps, available during the game. Also discussed... the value of having overlapping areas of expertise between different PCs, using spells for interesting effects (breaking concentration), and is there a difference between a history check and a memory check? Can you use a perception check to remember something?

The Tome Show is proud to host the DnDeBrief podcast! Here is episode 001 - Eye of the Storm
Meet our brave heroes in this first episode of D&Debrief! In the first half of this episode DM Samuel hosts a session 0 character creation activity! After a quick introduction to the setting, we meet the PCs. First we find out about Ashaz "Ash" Whitemane, a Tabaxi Rogue who spent most of his young life stowed away on a cargo ship. We also introduce Emmeryn, a Human Cleric of Goras who has spent the past months trying to figure out the secret of The Sinking. And lastly we get to know Axley Tillingquest, a Halfling Bard who is destined to write the greatest epic story ever told... and a cookbook.
In the second half of the episode the lighthouse keeper's daughter tasks our heroes with finding out if her father is alive and well. While investigating they witness strange movement on the beach. The group comes upon a consortium of crabs - the mealy, rotting beasts are eating something disgusting on the beach! A strange eye-like symbol embroidered on a sailor's tunic, a half sunken ship, and a scrap of paper with a mysterious name leave the group with more questions than answers!

In this episode Jeff sits down with Ismael Alvarez and Jeremiah McCoy to give a brief first-look review of the newest D&D release, Mythic Odysseys of Theros. This is a test run of a new format for reviews - it features a timely review that is not in as much depth as a typical Tome Show review. The idea is to give this first look and then come back later for a more standard Tome Show in-depth review after everyone has had time to read and play with the material in the book. We hope you enjoy this new format!

Other than Calling Wizards of the Coast's customer service line, you can rebind your books yourself, or have a local shop do it. Listen to this episode to hear more!
Here are images of the rebound books discussed in the episode:

Included in their campaign talk is a quick discussion on how to increase the feeling of oddness in a setting, how to provide a good experience to your players when their PCs are on a long journey, and what to do when the PCs decide NOT to engage with a powerful enemy.

In this episode Jeff and Tracy are joined by an all star cast! Their guests are Dan Dillon, a prolific freelancer who publishes most of his work with Kobold Press, Shawn Merwin, who hosts the Down with D&D Podcast and writes for the Adventurer's League, and Stephen Radney-MacFarland, a former D&D designer who now designs for Paizo Publishing! This motley group has a lively discussion about alignment in your games - a bit on the history of alignment systems, how they have evolved over the different editions of the game, if you should use them, why you should use them, how you should use them - the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Future of D&D
In his early work on good judgment, summarized in Expert Political Judgment: How Good Is It? How Can We Know?,[2] Tetlock conducted a set of small scale forecasting tournaments between 1984 and 2003. The forecasters were 284 experts from a variety of fields, including government officials, professors, journalists, and others, with many opinions, from Marxists to free-marketeers.
The tournaments solicited roughly 28,000 predictions about the future and found the forecasters were often only slightly more accurate than chance, and usually worse than basic extrapolation algorithms, especially on longer–range forecasts three to five years out. Forecasters with the biggest news media profiles were also especially bad. This work suggests that there is a perverse inverse relationship between fame and accuracy.
https://www.amazon.com/Expert-Political-Judgment-Good-Know/dp/0691128715
“People who spend their time, and earn their living, studying a particular topic produce poorer predictions than dart-throwing monkeys who would have distributed their choices evenly over the options.”

“Hither came Conan…” The world’s most famous barbarian comes to The Appendix N Podcast to tread the works of lesser fantasy authors beneath his sandled feet. We are talking about the earliest Conan stories written by Robert E. Howard, though not necessarily the first published.
www.nobleknight.com
Howard, R. E.: “Conan” series
Robert E. Howard
born 1906, died 1936
Born in Texas, the only son of a traveling country physician. Traveling with his father exposed him to firsthand tales of violence that would influence his writing, and like many people of the time he was greatly interested in the sport of boxing. Howard’s love of poetry and literature came from his mother, Hester. His earliest stories were historical fiction about Vikings, Arabs and lots of violence. His earliest influences were Jack London, Rudyard Kipling and Thomas Bullfinch.
In August 1930, Howard wrote to Weird Tales in praise “The Rats in the Walls” by H. P. Lovecraft. The letter was forwarded to Lovecraft and the two authors became friends. Howard is considered to have contributed to the Lovecraft Mythos. The correspondence between Howard and Lovecraft contained a lengthy discussion on a frequent element in Howard’s writing, civilization versus barbarism. Howard held that civilization was inherently corrupt and fragile.
Howard wrote his first Conan story in 1932, adapting an unpublished story “By This Axe I Rule!” featuring one of Howard’s other protagonists, Kull the Conqueror. Conan would go on to become Howard’s most enduring character.
Howard sadly committed suicide in 1936 upon learning that his mother was dying of tuberculosis.
“The Phoenix on the Sword” first published in Weird Tales, December 1932
“The Frost Giant’s Daughter” first published as “The Gods of the North” in Weird Tales, 1932
“The God in the Bowl” reject by Weird Tales, published posthumously in Space Science Fiction, September 1952

A Viking and an American Indian walk into the Alaskan wilderness. If that sounds like a joke, you haven’t read Dwellers in the Mirage, the thrilling sci-fi adventure story by A. Merrit. Listen to my guests and I talk about this story that features a Cthulhu-esque deity, a Conan-esque warrior king, and half-naked warrior women in a hidden mountain valley.
www.nobleknight.com
Merrit, A.: CREEP, SHADOW, CREEP; MOON POOL; DWELLERS IN THE MIRAGE; et al
“The most immediate influences upon AD&D were probably de Camp & Pratt, R. E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, H. P. Lovecraft, and A. Merrit” — Gary Gygax
Abraham Merrit
born 1884, died 1943
Wikipedia names H. Rider Haggard, Robert W. Chambers, Helena Blavatsky and Gertrude Barrows Bennett (writing as Francis Stevens) as “heavy influences.”
He was a major influence on Appendix N authors H. P. Lovecraft and Michael Moorcock. He was referenced in the Lensman series by E. E. Smith.
Born in Beverly, New Jersey. Primarily a journalist. Assistant editor of The American Weekly from 1912 to 1937 and then editor until his death in 1943.
Merrit’s first fantasy story was “Through the Dragon Glass” (1917)
Dwellers in the Mirage was originally serialized in six parts in the magazine Argosy beginning on January 23, 1932.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS GAME BEFORE? Because Rudy Basso, Alex Basso, Ray Fallon, and Vegas Lancaster sure haven't. It's an RTS set in Eberron that was released in 2006 that floated right past our and - it seems - most of the collective gaming audience's radars. Is it a hidden treasure, lost in the ruins of Khyber? Or is it a way too deadly trap that was rightly ignored, waiting to be released upon a quartet of foolish adventurers who are full of pizza and wings?

Third part of a three-part series. My guests and I discuss The Call of Cthulhu, the most famous story by H. P. Lovecraft featuring his iconic creation, and we also talk about the roleplaying game of the same name.
www.nobleknight.com
Lovecraft, H. P. The Complete Works.
H. P. Lovecraft
born 1890, died 1937
Born in Providence, RI, son of a traveling salesman and a woman who could trace her ancestry back to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. When Lovecraft was only 3 years old, his father was placed in a psychiatric institution and died 5 years later, as Lovecraft himself claimed, of paralysis brought on by “nervous exhaustion.” Lovecraft’s mother suffered from hysteria and depression and died at the same hospital about 23 years later.
Lovecraft was raised by his mother and his mother’s family, including his grandfather who was a businessman. It was this grandfather who encouraged him to read and interested him in tales of Gothic horror.
Lovecraft was an intelligent but sickly child who grew into a gaunt, pale adult. He suffered a nervous breakdown prior to his high school graduation and never received his diploma. Although today he is regarded by fans as one of the greatest literary geniuses of the 20th century, he was never financially successful in his own time, partly due to his own unwillingness. He was friends with many other writers of his day, including most famously Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian.
He was briefly married to a woman named Sonia Greene and lived with her in New York City, where he was famously miserable.
Lovecraft returned to Providence in 1926 and lived there until his death in 1937. He was diagnosed with cancer of the small intestine and died in poverty.
Today the images of H. P. Lovecraft and his most famous creation, the monster Cthulhu, are well known to gamers. Cthulhu appears on t-shirts, in board games, card games, roleplaying games, and video games. He is credited as an inspiration by many, many horror and fantasy writers, and filmmakers who came after him. And yet his name is relatively unknown outside of geek and gamer culture, probably less recognizable to the general public than Edgar Allen Poe and Steven King.

Jeff Wikstrom and I discuss The King of Elfland’s Daughter by Lord Dunsany. A prince of the normal world brings home an Elf princess to be his wife, but it doesn’t turn out quite like everyone hand planned. Dunsany, Lord. The Book of Wonder, The Essential Lord Dunsany Collection, The Gods of Pegana, The King of Elfland’s Daughter, Lord Dunsany Compendium, and The Sword of Welleran and Other Tales. Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsanyborn 1878, died 1957 Lord Dunsany was an Irish writer and dramatist, notable for his work, mostly in fantasy, published under the name Lord Dunsany. More than eighty books of his work were published, and his oeuvre includes many hundreds of published short stories, as well as successful plays, novels and essays. He is considered a major influence on the work of J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, and Ursula K. Le Guin. Born to the second-oldest title (created 1439) in the Irish peerage, Dunsany lived much of his life at perhaps Ireland’s longest-inhabited home, Dunsany Castle near Tara, worked with W.B. Yeats and Lady Gregory, received an honorary doctorate from Trinity College, was chess and pistol-shooting champion of Ireland, and travelled and hunted extensively. He died in Dublin after an attack of appendicitis. Dunsany began writing in the late 1890s and "burst onto the publishing scene" with The Gods of Pegana in 1905. His first stories were set in an invented world with its own gods, history and geography. Dunsany eventually began writing novels and his most well-known novel, The King of Elfland's Daughter, was published in 1924 and is the inspiration of Neil Gaiman's film, Stardust.

My guest and I discuss The Moon Pool by Abraham Merritt. An international group of scientists and explorers investigate a mysterious alien being that snatches innocent travelers in the South Pacific and ends up discovering a lost underground civilization.

Merrit, A.: CREEP, SHADOW, CREEP; MOON POOL; DWELLERS IN THE MIRAGE; et al
“The most immediate influences upon AD&D were probably de Camp & Pratt, R. E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, H. P. Lovecraft, and A. Merrit”
Abraham Merritt
born 1884, died 1943
Wikipedia names H. Rider Haggard, Robert W. Chambers, Helena Blavatsky and Gertrude Barrows Bennett (writing as Francis Stevens) as “heavy influences.”
He was a major influence on Appendix N authors H. P. Lovecraft and Michael Moorcock. He was referenced in the Lensman series by E. E. Smith.
Born in Beverly, New Jersey. Primarily a journalist. Assistant editor of The American Weekly from 1912 to 1937 and then editor until his death in 1943.
Merritt’s first fantasy story was “Through the Dragon Glass” (1917)
The Moon Pool originally appeared in All-Story Weekly as two short stories “The Moon Pool” (1918) and “Conquest of the Moon Pool” (1919). Later reworked into a novel, apparently something of the original story was lost. Writes Lovecraft in 1934: Merritt is certainly great stuff — he has a subtle command of an unique type of strangeness which no one else has been able to parallel. You are absolutely right in considering his original Moon Pool novelette — as published in the All-Story for June 22, 1918 — his best work. The sequel — The Conquest of the Moon Pool — was relatively commonplace and tainted with the atmosphere of cheap popular fiction. It is a major crime that many of the best touches were taken out of the novelette when it was fused with its sequel to form the ultimate book version.

Welcome the Round Table to the possible mix of podcasts offered under the Tome Show banner. James and company are looking to do a regular look at D&D news with a panel of contributors with varying levels of experience and preferences.

In this special episode Mark Meredith of Dice Monkey Radio and Jeff Greiner of The Tome Show produced an accidental team-up. They both, individually and independently, conducted an interview with R.A. Salvatore, author of Charon's Claw and the rest of the Drizzt series of novels and more. Rather than give you two Tome Show Production episodes in a row interviewing the same person, we spliced them together into one special combo episode.
Mark talks to Mr. Salvatore about the process of writing Drizzt novels, where he came from, how he got to the adventures of Charon's Claw, and more. Jeff talked about some of the deeper issues of the story, the unreliability and flawed nature of the characters, integrating the stories into the Forgotten Realms, and more.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT CLEAN! Here it is...there are now more Tome Show episodes than there are 4e Themes and Classes combined! Tracy was left entirely in charge of this episode and she opted to do something truly revolutionary in this podcast episode about gaming...we played a game. It was a fun surprise to do this episode...although this is a truly adult episode. We've always tried to keep the show clean, but I guess we got a bit blue in our goofy fun when we recorded this.
I'm going to leave it at that and let you enjoy the insane stupid gaming.

In June we read Spinner of Lies for the Tome Show Book Club, a novel by Bruce Cordell. This is the second book about this character, but each is intended to stand alone. It's also a Forgotten Realms novel about a character who is not natively from the Realms. Joining us for the discussion of this Book Club is Andy Myhr and the author. We are reading chapters 1 through 12 of Marshelia Rockwell's Eberron novel Skein of Shadows in July we'd love to have you join us.
Make sure you stay tuned after the interview for a book review from long time contributor Geoffrey D. Winn.

In February 2012 the Tome Show Book Club read Erik Scott DeBie's Shadowbane, a Forgotten Realms novel set in Luskan with characters developing out of his previous book Downshadow. This book is part of the larger D&D novels story called the Abyssal Plague, although background knowledge of that event and the events of Downshadow are not needed (Jeff had not read Downashadow before this book and Tracy had not read any Abyssal Plague books). According to Jeff, "DeBie understands what it means to write in a shared world better than any other author writing in the Forgotten Realms and in Shadowbane he has crafted the perfect Realms story."

And the following is the text of the interview with Mike Mearls:
Year in Review:
Tome Crew: How do you feel about the direction of design for the brand in the last year? What lessons have you learned from it?
Mike Mearls: So far, I think our overall direction is sound. We’ve gotten great feedback on our announcement of the next iteration, and it’s encouraging to see a groundswell of overall interest in D&D. To be honest, I was worried that people might just ignore what we had to say. I think I’ve learned that people love D&D and want to see it succeed. If you give them a chance to help make that happen, they’re more than happy to step up and take part.
TC: I'd like to hear the story of how the decision was made over the last year to revise the game...what brought us up to the announcement?
MM: The big realization was that with each edition, we were creating artificial divides within the D&D fan base. This divide affects the long term health of D&D as a whole because it makes it harder for people to find game groups or even discuss the game with other players. That doesn’t mean that new editions are strictly bad. Instead, it means we need to consider them very carefully and weigh the long term benefits and drawbacks, rather than focus solely on the short term.
When you have a splintered audience, your best bet is to find a way to bring people together. Our central idea is that regardless of what you like about D&D, you can find it in the next iteration. The basic approach is to preserve what’s there and express it in a compact, elegant way, rather than focus on inventing a new way to play D&D.
TC: 2011 was a big year for D&D branching into other mediums (comics, more/new board games, video games, movies, etc.). Has this been a successful movement for the brand?
MM: There’s a lot of interest in D&D out there, and we’ve seen that reflected in the enthusiasm for products outside of the traditional tabletop offerings. The truth is that many people play D&D for a period of time and then move on because life gets in the way. They still love D&D, though, and are willing to delve into it in whatever format fits their lives.
TC: D&D has had some big changes over the last year, could you tell us a bit about why this all came together at once (change in leadership, return of the boxed set, canceling minis and bringing them back, etc.)?
MM: I don’t think any of these things were part of some grand plan. In a lot of ways, the changes in products and such represent a few different attempts to innovate, shake things up, and keep the game fresh.
TC: What was your favorite moment in D&D from 2011?
MM: Running an adventure using some of the basic design principles that are in play for D&D Next. It was good to see a game that included role play, problem solving, investigation, and a couple of fights, fit into less than an hour. A close second would be running and playing five different editions of D&D with members of the R&D team. The thing that stuck out to me was that each edition of the game had its strengths, and in many ways those strengths could complement each other.
Look Ahead:
TC: What do you anticipate being the process for playtesting of D&D Next?
MM: We’re aiming to reach as many D&D players as possible, while ensuring that we get a good sense of what the players as a whole think. It’s easy to let a few, loud voices guide a playtest process, so we’re taking pains to design a system that gives everyone an equal chance to be heard.
TC: How can we expect the D&D Digital Tools to develop in the next year as Silverlight loses support and 4e enters its twilight?
MM: We’re continuing to support the tools by adding content through the magazines and loading materials from our books to it. In 2011, we made an effort to get feedback on which classes and races need more support, and 2012 is when you’ll see the fruits of those labors.
TC: What D&D product for 2012 are you most excited to get into people’s hands?
MM: I’ve seen some initial layouts and text for Ed Greenwood Presents Elminster’s Forgotten Realms, and that book is an amazing look at the Realms through the eyes of the world’s creator. Every time I have an approval meeting, I want to keep reading the text rather than just approve the layout and move on.
TC: With DDXP going away, what newer and bigger things can we expect from D&D at GenCon next year?
MM: We have some great plans for the show, but nothing we want to announce yet. D&D has always been an important part of GenCon, and this year we definitely want to step things up.
TC: What will your favorite moment in D&D be in 2012?
MM: Definitely GenCon. We have some nifty stuff planned.

We also discuss at some length the latest news from WotC about canceled books, the death of D&D miniatures...and then we speculate that this will either mean the end of D&D for all time or the announcement of 5th edition.

This year at the WotC Preview at GenCon they reviewed stuff we already knew...and then told us about the new stuff. Like Ravenloft, a bunch of new card sets and mechanics, more boxed sets, the new Player's Handbook: Heroes of Shadow (notice it is NOT being called Player's Handbook 4...that seems gone), and new print Forgotten Realms material that I mentioned in last night's audio release. For the details have a listen and enjoy.
Oh, and that loud mouth you hear yell out all the time and generally make a lot of ruckus...that's Matt James, you've heard him on the show before (and he had a product announced with his name on it).
This audio is split into two parts, but I will release them both tonight so you can hear all the news. So make sure you go back and get both episodes.
Lastly, don't forget to swing by our sponsor. You can't be shopping here at GenCon like I am (don't tell my wife) but you can get pretty much anything I can get by heading over to...
