Listen to Enrique Bertran, better known as NewbieDM, discuss the evolving Dungeons & Dragons landscape during the past 10 years. He shares his insights about how roleplaying games continue to get closer to "mainstream" status, and how 5th Edition D&D is a good system. We spend time reviewing D&D's latest adventure, Tomb of Annihilation, which Enrique says "is 5th Edition running on all cylinders" and "the best adventure Wizards of the Coast has put out... since at least 2008." He delves into the specifics of the adventure - without too many spoilers - and offers Dungeon Masters advice on how to run the game a bit differently than published to enhance the experience of the players. He speaks about the benefits for using online tools such as D&D Beyond and Roll20 to run his gaming sessions, and talks about his desire for official adventure content from Wizards to be briefer. He concludes with thoughts on a possible future project geared toward a roleplaying game for children.

    L-R David Noonan, NPCChris, Me!, Phil, Tony, NewbieDM, Jorge Hello and welcome to the Campaigns, the Actual Play Podcasts from The Rpg Academy. I am Michael and this is the second of 2 episodes recorded at GenCon 2014. As a backer of the Primeval Thule Kickstarter I got to have a game ran for me. We set things up for this game to be ran at GenCon for me and up to 5 other players. We had a contest and gave one set away, our winner: Phil W.  I begged/pleaded/Cajoled some others to come and play as well. We ended up with Chris from NPCCast, his friend Tony, NewbieDM and his friend Jorge, our contest winner Phil and myself. The GM for this game was David Noonan one of the designers of the Primeval Thule setting. A brief note about the audio quality. it is not quite up to the standard that we have been getting too here lately on the show, but i'm happy to have what we have. I had set up a mic to record the game and my audio was unusable. Luckily, NPCChris was there and had recorded the game as well with his audio recorder and that's the audio we used. I did try to level out the sounds a little bit, but it still has some rough peaks and valleys.  Regardless, I think this is a great episode, I had a blast playing in the game and hope you guys enjoy listening.   Episode 2 - An unopened door   Comments and Feedback are always welcome.
