This episode is a solo cast where I look at Dragonborn from Goodman Games. It is a book intended to give your Dragonborn characters more depth and more options. Listen in to see if they pulled it off.
In this episode I am also testing out using bed music. Let me know what you think via email (thetomeshow @ gmail . com), on The Tome Show’s Facebook group, or on Twitter.
I’m also having some issues getting links to work while I’m away from home. So I’m going to post this episode for your enjoyment, but I will go back and add the links when I get back to my normal computer set up. Thanks for your understanding.

If you’re interested in the setting of the Pathfinder products these books are for you. While designed for 3e D&D, being largely rule-light these are two products that could easily be used in 4e D&D, or any other game system.
