Main topic: The Beautiful Mess of 5E
While Shawn and Teos are away, we share with you a recording of a panel at Gamehole con where Mike Mearls, Mike Shea, Shawn, and Teos discuss the many forms of 5E available both officially and through third party companies. We look at how D&D 5E was designed in a open way and how this impacts our hobby.

Our thanks to Mike Shea for recording this and allowing us to "rebroadcast" it!
