| 0:00.0 | Hi there, this is Eric, your DM, and welcome to the Punch Bowl, our new interview segment |
| 0:05.3 | on Join the Party. |
| 0:07.4 | Even on our off weeks, I'm still thinking about D.N.B. |
| 0:10.1 | Like playing it and coming up with all these random characters that I'm never going to be able to use. |
| 0:14.4 | But I also think about what it's like playing a nearly 50 year old game in 2017 and beyond. |
| 0:20.0 | So I figured that I'd put that to good use and talk to people who are pushing D&D forward, |
| 0:25.5 | creatively, communally, socially, just doing good work. |
| 0:30.3 | It's like I ran into them at a party and I know them from Twitter but not actually in real life and I just want to get them a drink and just talk to them about everything that they're doing. |
| 0:38.0 | So for our first segment, I called up two guys who host a show that I've been listening to since the beginning. |
| 0:44.8 | They are the dungeon cast, a podcast that dives into all things D&D one episode at a time. |

| 1:18.0 | We have Will, who will be speaking first, and Brian who talks second. What's up guys? What's going on? Hey how's it going? We're doing good over here. That's great. |
| 1:27.6 | Listeners at home you can't see the really cool stuff that I'm looking at but I can see just like two D&D modules right |
| 1:33.8 | behind me I can't see which ones but oh is that Skag on the left yeah we got Skag |
| 1:38.8 | and out of the abyss that's awesome first I just want to start off with your backgrounds. What is your experience playing Dungeons and Dragons? |
| 1:46.0 | So I'm the longtime player of the two of us. I've been playing for almost eight years now. I started in fourth edition, I started as a player, |
| 1:55.2 | but it wasn't too long until I became the de facto |
| 1:57.8 | DM and pretty much everything I did. |
