Dungeons & Dragons is something I hold near and dear to my heart. Second to video gaming, D&D is something that can't be replaced. As such, I brought it to myself that I'd like to share that magic with others by candidly recording my group's D&D sessions. Currently we are playing 4th Edition, which many veterans look down upon, but since most of the people in this particular group are new to the game, I figured 4E was the way to go.
Note, the recording is a little rough, and there are several instances of loud noises being picked up due to the close proximity of the microphone. One player in particular unconsciously has the urge to repeatedly tap the table, so I apologize in advance if that annoys you.
I decided to cut the recording in half with the first hour taking place this week and the second hour the following week. I plan to post new episodes each Tuesday when possible.

I'm clueless about D&D but I might just download it to see what it's all about.
oh, and clever name too :)
Sweet idea for a podcast. But do your friends know that you were recording at the time?
The Player's Handbook 2 came out last month and they fix a lot of the problems people had with the 4E. They brought back classes like the Bard, Barbarian, and Druid, and provided a ton more options such as paragon paths for races.

I told a couple of people I planned to record the session and they seemed cool with it. Some of them didn't, which I felt was for the best because it'd give that natural speech, rather than knowing that people will hear what you say. The ones that noticed they were being recorded started messing with the sound waves that emitted when they spoke, which appears about halfway through the podcast.
@Garison - I never played before earlier this year, and my group plays via Fantasy Grounds (a virtual tabletop). If you don't have anyone local, it's the way to go. We find it actually streamlines the game (especially 4E).
