Love the subject matter and completely enjoy how the Podcasters tie in the stories that seeded D&D to the actual mechanics. I am a Sword & Sorcery lover and played D&D back in 79 so I definitely appreciate Appendix N's attempt to cover these memorable if not particularly PC or even well written stories. Have listened to the first few and reallly enjoyed the insight on Leiber. Can't wait to hear the rest. Great work!
