Topics  Roll20 Roll20 (www.Roll20.net) is a new virtual tabletop that runs solely within your web browser, is built on HTML5, is full of awesome, and is currently in open beta.  It focuses less on mechanics and more on camraderie than other tables. But don't take my word for it, listen up as I mini-interview its creators! You can also stalk them online via twitter @Roll20App and also on Google+.   D&DNext Online Playtest Ban Note: This topic became irrelevant midway through the show as WotC has even updated the FAQ regarding the playtest. Listen to us complain anyway!   What Classes Should Be In D&D? A very interesting article by Bartoneus over at Critical Hits on the topic of what classes should be in D&D? The relationships that each classes have with one another, and how they all blend together, how much is too much? We discuss classes, and shardminds of course.
