Getting Started with Dungeons and Dragons

Episode 177 recorded June 8th. Join us Wednesdays at Nine PM Eastern at https://www.twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop.

We try to determine the best gateway to Dungeons & Dragons by breaking down the plentiful D&D 5e starter sets that are out there. After that we review the Command Station expansion for Space Base. We finish with the most casual game of Scythe ever and a fantastic game of For The Queen.
