Nat 1 Nerds: A TTRPG Exploration Podcast - A Review and Analysis of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

A Review and Analysis of Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition

10/15/22 • 56 min

In this final episode exploring Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, your hosts Parker and Brandon give their final thoughts on the classic system that introduced them (and so many others) into the world of table-top role-playing games. Though they admit their biased grade in the system's favor (such as how well the combat mechanics and rules work), they still have their criticism; notably the games lack of role-play support mechanically speaking. They also give further insight into being a good Dungeon Master, and some talk on how to run a campaign with different types of players at the table. Overall, they recommend Dungeons and Dragons 5e and look forward to the new edition in the next couple years.
