Welcome to Random Encounter #1. These will be shorter than our normal episodes and feature our discussion of current news or releases and possibly a game review or two. This first episode we touch on the news about D&D Beyond, Exploding Kittens, and what we thought of the D&D Direct announcements. We finish with our review of the Ryan Laukat game The Ancient World.
