    I Hit It With My Axe: Episode 24: Politics, Shopping and Intermediate Demonology

    I'm not that familiar with DnD, but have some experience with other tabletop/pnp games (Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, W40k). What would be a good place to start to learn more about the basics of DnD? Is there a specific rulebook or webpage which I should seek out? Thanks! ps. Show is great.

    Demon's Souls

    I don't think I'm being understood. As soon as I get to the bridge I walk out onto it and start killing guys. The dragon never shows up. I can stand in the middle, beginning or end of the thing for a half hour and he never comes out to play.

    Demon's Souls

    That's the thing. I don't see him flying around at all when I get to the bridge. Do you have to approach the bridge (for the first time) from the dragon side (facing the soldiers on the bridge head on)? I'm currently using the shortcut from the main entrance which places me behind the...

    Could someone tell me the pros and cons of having a PS3?
