This week we talk a bit more about Codex as it's our game of the day.  We also get to some feedback about our CCG episodes and answer a question about games with lite rules for super casual gamers. Then we get into our main topic of D&D where Chris starts out with a history of D&D and then we move into how to play.  This is one of Chris's favorite topics so email us if you have questions or comments.
