Hello and welcome to another episode of the Dungeons and Dragons

podcast. This is your host for today's episode Bart Carroll along with Shelly Mazzanoble. In our first segment

we'll be speaking with author, journalist, and gamer David E. Walt, whose book of

dice and men has recently come out in paperback.

Hi Dave.

Hi, how are you guys doing?

We are very good, very happy to have you on our podcast.

It's been a while since we chatted.

Yeah, I'm excited to be on.

I listen to the podcast every time it comes out, so this is cool.

Oh, good.

Yeah, it's been on a little bit of a hiatus

while we were launching the new edition,

and then the new website and then the

convention season rolled around but we're looking to get back on a definitely

more regular schedule for that. Well on behalf of all the listeners, that's awesome, keep it up.

Oh, good.

Excellent.

So Dave, as Bart mentioned in his intro,

you do have a robust resume of you're a journalist you're an author but more importantly

you're a gamer so and I know you have a long history with D&D and for anyone who who might not have read the book yet

I don't know why that would be but tell us a little bit about your your D&D history
