[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 9154889, member: 6669048"] This week, Morrus, Peter, and Jessica talk about player strongholds and the new Bastion D&D playtest. In the news, more Planescape previews, algorithmic art controversy, Penguin Random House dropping Dungeons & Dragons, and more! Plus a brand new sketch about not disparaging the sponsor of the Great Race competition!
