Driving the Point: WotC's 5.5e Concession - Nerdcognito Episode 319

About this episode

The episode discusses Wizards of the Coast's admission about D&D 5.5e and features a guest from Driving and Dragons.

This week, Wizards of the Coast "admitted" that 2024 D&D is really just 5.5e, after professing for years that it was not. Plus, Daniel from Driving and Dragons sits in (yes, you read that correctly), wades through the news, and talks with us about his upcoming pulp! *** SUPPORT THE SHOW!
