In this episode Al discusses the Happy Hunting Grounds, also known as The Beastlands.

He has taken you to Heaven and he has taken you to Hell. Next stop: Nirvana! No, not the popular grunge band from the 90s, but rather the place where Lawful Neutral souls reside in the AD&D multiverse. Al discusses the version of Nirvana from the first edition Manual of the Planes. We'll also take a look at how it is similar to and different from the Buddhist belief that this plane gets its name from.

Al continues to take you on a tour of the outer planes with a look at the Seven Heavens as presented in the AD&D First Edition book The Manual of the Planes.

This week Al discusses some ways you can run a historical D&D campaign in Thailand.

Chad sits down with an old friend, Carl Olson, and we talk about gaming at a different level then ever before on this podcast. Carl proposes to me and you the listening audience that D&D and in fact most role-playing games are not story-telling games in their purest form. Don't worry, I come to the defense and we part as friends, with a promise of more discussions to follow.

Want to let me know how I'm doing? Well, there are 2 ways to do that. First, email me at whosepodcastisit@gmail.com or secondly, if your more into that social media thing check me out on Facebook @poinetwork, either way I look forward to hearing from you.

The grand old game of D&D has made its way into many forms of media such as toys, comic books, cartoons, and video games. It makes sense then that our beloved RPG would eventually make its way onto the big screen! This came to pass back in 2000 with the release of the Dungeons & Dragons movie. Al and Chad sit down to discuss this movie and why we think it was hated so much.

CORRECTION: In this episode we mention the toy based character Warduke. He actually did appear in one episode of the D&D cartoon and a couple of modules and game accessories.

Al, Lou, and Chad sit down to discuss the wonderful world of dump stats! We discuss why we think some players favor putting their lowest score in charisma as well as other stats likely to become a dumping ground for your lowest ability score.
