We have prayed to the gods of battle and we are fully prepared for this episode! Join DMs Glen, Brian, and Fulongamer as they welcome back DM Erik Tenkar, and the OG co-host of this august podcast, DM BadMike! After catching up with what's been going on and answering a round of emails, the quintet digs into the plate of 2e goodness set before them.

First, they discuss the FR deity Tempus, and then they talk about one of the D&D staple monsters, orcs. Then, finally, they circle back around to Tempus as they Brainstorm a temple complex.

Its our golden anniversary, and we commemorate it in grand style! Join DMs Glen, Cory, Fulongamer and Brian as they (finally) take a trip into the Forgotten Realms! Wasting no time, they get right into it and talk about the Forgotten Realms Boxed sets (along with a little bit of history), then from there they segue into the Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover book. Next up they talk about one of the rare ivory/white splatbooks, the Player's Guide to the Forgotten Realms, then they have a discussion about what era to run a Forgotten Realms campaign. And to wrap up, they opine about one of the best supplement series for the Realms, Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast.
