Is That An Owlbear? A D&D Podcast
Does the existence of Owlbear create the possible existence of Wolfhawks? What exactly is the difference between a Wizard, Sorcerer, and Warlock? Are all Barbarians brutes that barely string along sentences? Join DM Joe as he explains DnD to his old friend, Cristina. As an experienced player that has never really put their mind to the rules, Cristina has both new and old questions that can help any player with a fresh point of view.
