It's finally here! A long time coming, but Dice Monkey Radio Episode 5 finally got itself edited! On this episode, we talk to my dad, Scotte Meredith, about what D&D was like back in the old timey days before DDI and numbered editions. Hope you enjoy!

Rodney Thompson, Wizards of the Coast Advanced Designer joins us for this episode. He talks about his work ranging from Star Wars Saga Edition to Lords of Waterdeep..and of course D&D. He gives some advice for DMs on how to handle splitting the party and he helps players go with the flow and teaches us how to handle it when the DM makes a call or house rule that we don't agree with.
