(RAW) Review: "Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition"

!RAW! As a service to our listeners we've rushed this blobcast to production. As a result we have forgone our normal editing process and present this episode RAW and UNCUT! As such the episode may be a little more explicit than usual, and the listener should use discretion.
