Given the amount of disparagement 4e gets on the show, I was wondering if perhaps (much like the podcast “Unjustly Maligned”), you could have a 4e proponent guest on at some point to discuss the highlights and give it a good defence or relate ways in which it may have affected the industry as a whole (beyond the obvious Pathfinder stuff)?
…Or was this covered in a previous podcast a few years ago that I missed?
Chad took a loosely pro-4e position on one episode, though to heck if I could tell you which one. I would be curious at least to know what the thinking was behind the edition. Let me see if any of its designers are available for a chat at some point in the future.
Oooh, Ooooh! Get Rob Heinsoo! Rob Heinsoo!
And then when you get done with the boring part about D&D, talk about 13th Age instead. It’s totally the second-best edition D&D released up to this point.
I listened to the ‘One Shot’ episode where they played 13th Age. Gotta say, it does sound kind of cool
hey Dan my name’s not Cedric :P
