The Monster Manual’s Newest Addition: Dungeons and Dragons Itself

This week on Waypoint! Rob’s back and better than ever (for now), and so of course we get to hear about how much COVID sucks. Speaking of things sucking, Ren leads us on a look at Wizards of the Coast updating their Open Gaming License, the agreement that allowed games like Pathfinder to exist when D&D 4th edition shit the bed, which Wizards is basically threatening to undo in a 1.1 update. Patrick got early access to the first episode of HBO’s The Last of Us, and has the scoop on how the already “cinematic” game translates to the small screen. Then we dive into the question bucket to discuss eating pizza off a plate. Like while it’s still on there. Like just chomping down on the pizza while it’s still on the plate.
