Dungeons & Dragons Potluck Blog
October 15, 2018 08:00Reviewing a game like Dungeons & Dragons is a daunting task. It’s a game with decades of history, it invented a new kind of entertainment, and is literally the reason we are here making this podcast for you.

We are only $166.00 away from our next goal, which is having the Tabletop Potluck crew make and eat Gatorade chicken.
