CleanShadowbane (Tome Book Club) | In February 2012 the Tome Show Book Club read Erik Scott DeBie's Shadowbane, a Forgotten Realms novel set in Luskan with characters developing out of his previous book Downshadow. This book is part of the larger D&D novels story called the Abyssal Plague, although background knowledge of that event and the events of Downshadow are not needed (Jeff had not read Downashadow before this book and Tracy had not read any Abyssal Plague books). According to Jeff, "DeBie understands what it means to write in a shared world better than any other author writing in the Forgotten Realms and in Shadowbane he has crafted the perfect Realms story." If you want to know more bout Erik visit his website. If you want to know more about the Realms swing by Candlekeep and the FR Wiki. If you want to buy Erik's FR books, take a gander: Amazon.com Widgets If you want to buy the next Book Club book it is Brimstone Angels by Erin Evans.

Clean2011 in Review, Look Ahead to 2012 (Tome 189) | In this episode of the Tome Show Jeff and Tracy are joined by editor Sam Dillon (who didn't edit this episode, so don't blame him) and Icosahedraphelia host, Chris Heard. Our sponsor is Gamerati and Gamerati TV. And the following is the text of the interview with Mike Mearls: Year in Review: Tome Crew: How do you feel about the direction of design for the brand in the last year? What lessons have you learned from it? Mike Mearls: So far, I think our overall direction is sound. We’ve gotten great feedback on our announcement of the next iteration, and it’s encouraging to see a groundswell of overall interest in D&D. To be honest, I was worried that people might just ignore what we had to say. I think I’ve learned that people love D&D and want to see it succeed. If you give them a chance to help make that happen, they’re more than happy to step up and take part. TC: I'd like to hear the story of how the decision was made over the last year to revise the game...what brought us up to the announcement? MM: The big realization was that with each edition, we were creating artificial divides within the D&D fan base. This divide affects the long term health of D&D as a whole because it makes it harder for people to find game groups or even discuss the game with other players. That doesn’t mean that new editions are strictly bad. Instead, it means we need to consider them very carefully and weigh the long term benefits and drawbacks, rather than focus solely on the short term. When you have a splintered audience, your best bet is to find a way to bring people together. Our central idea is that regardless of what you like about D&D, you can find it in the next iteration. The basic approach is to preserve what’s there and express it in a compact, elegant way, rather than focus on inventing a new way to play D&D. TC: 2011 was a big year for D&D branching into other mediums (comics, more/new board games, video games, movies, etc.). Has this been a successful movement for the brand? MM: There’s a lot of interest in D&D out there, and we’ve seen that reflected in the enthusiasm for products outside of the traditional tabletop offerings. The truth is that many people play D&D for a period of time and then move on because life gets in the way. They still love D&D, though, and are willing to delve into it in whatever format fits their lives. TC: D&D has had some big changes over the last year, could you tell us a bit about why this all came together at once (change in leadership, return of the boxed set, canceling minis and bringing them back, etc.)? MM: I don’t think any of these things were part of some grand plan. In a lot of ways, the changes in products and such represent a few different attempts to innovate, shake things up, and keep the game fresh. TC: What was your favorite moment in D&D from 2011? MM: Running an adventure using some of the basic design principles that are in play for D&D Next. It was good to see a game that included role play, problem solving, investigation, and a couple of fights, fit into less than an hour. A close second would be running and playing five different editions of D&D with members of the R&D team. The thing that stuck out to me was that each edition of the game had its strengths, and in many ways those strengths could complement each other. Look Ahead: TC: What do you anticipate being the process for playtesting of D&D Next? MM: We’re aiming to reach as many D&D players as possible, while ensuring that we get a good sense of what the players as a whole think. It’s easy to let a few, loud voices guide a playtest process, so we’re taking pains to design a system that gives everyone an equal chance to be heard. TC: How can we expect the D&D Digital Tools to develop in the next year as Silverlight loses support and 4e enters its twilight? MM: We’re continuing to support the tools by adding content through the magazine | 3/4/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 49 | CleanTome Build: Anguillian | On a recent Tome Episode Erik Scott De Bie and Matt Goetz talked about running aquatic games...as part of that we also discussed re-making an old monster, the Anguillian. Little did I know that when I asked them for a few stat blocks to include in the show notes that they'd send along a document full of lore, tactics, and five new creatures fully stated out and ready to run completely with some completely awesome, totally publish-worthy artwork by Matt's wife, Roxxy. I decided to spend a little time turning it into a nice looking PDF, manipulate the artwork a little bit. And give it all to you. I hope you enjoy this half as much as I did. Please let us know if you run them in your game. And on a side note, if you need help figuring out how to run aquatic games, don't just check out Tome ep 177 where we discussed it, but also check out the At-Will site which has a series of articles about running aquatic games.

One of the Best
This should be on your playlist. great interviews, good audio, an occasional contest... what more can you want? Ok, but you can't get that in a podcast :)
Simply the best
The Tome Show is the best D&D Podcast I have heard. I would say that it even rivals Wizard's own podcast. Jeff Greiner covers a diverse array of D&D topics including 4th edition and 3.X/Pathfinder RPG. The guests and co-hosts of the show are all top notch names from the gaming industry. This show is a must listen for anyone who is interested in Dungeons & Dragons. It's grassroots shows like this that help people keep their fingers on the pulse of Dungeons and Dragons community!
A Great Source of Information on D&D
A great show with a good point. I rather enjoy the style and information presented in this - you can definitely tell that The Tome Show host, Jeff, has a passion for games, and a desire to spread the love of D&D to any and all who will listen.
