When Dungeons & Dragons is your first RPG; getting wiped out in Moria a dozen times; Necromancer and Paladin in the party- what could go wrong?

The Amazing Gamers podcast was an all-star edition today, with Nintendo Force staff writer Maggie Jones Lutey (Avenger Mags on social) and my original D&D buddy, Ed Hopkins, joining the chat.

Topics included:

• how we discovered RPGs
• our most infamous adventures
• when role playing gets a bit out of pocket
• that priceless moment I realizing just how off-the-mark our many expeditions to save Durin’s belt from Moria really were…

I also discussed the art of making counter-offers to a demanding four-year-old, loving Ravenloft, and how Ed’s fighter characters reminded me of Dunk, from the Dunk and Egg stories.

We also touched on Xenoblade Chronicles X, loving Borderlands, Talisman, FF7 Rebirth, and Trails from Zero.
