- A Literary Rabbit Hole
If you ever perused the Appendix N of the original Dungeon Masters Guide back in the day, this podcast is for you. Be warned - you will spend a lot of time reading the books that inspired Gary Gygax. Luckily you don’t have to scour the 2nd book stores for these tomes, you can get a lot of them as PDFs from Amazon, Open Library and Project Gutenberg.

Just a brilliant combination of genre lit and RPG discussion. An intelligent discussion of some of the fascinating roots of our hobby and a TON of interesting guests to chew it over with. Good pointers for what to read… and sometimes what not to!
