Episode 52: Revamping Your Podcast with D&D Character Lab

Greeting Entreprenerds!

My guest this week is Garin from D&D Character Lab. Each week, Garin and Dan create Dungeons and Dragons characters and debate their validity on their podcast. The podcast features character classes available in various Wizards of the Coast and third-party published supplements and discusses them in a really entertaining format. The show is now over 2 years old and is a great resource for players and Dungeon Masters of D&D Fifth Edition.

I first learned about D&D Character Lab when I interviewed Crit Academy in Episode 43.
