412 - Nentir Vale Jul 25, 2026

Show notes

Well met, traveler! Welcome to our isolated and dangerous corner of a distant realm...the realm of Fourth Edition Dungeons and Dragons. DMs Rob and Matt explore the greatest (or worst?) D&D campaign setting that never quite was...Nentir Vale. Tune in if you want some inspiration for a wilderness crawl, a West Marches game, or just some cool factions to steal for your campaign.

Sometimes a Game Masters needs something open, full of possibilities, a mother sauce for a GM and players to build on. Join DMs Matt and Rob to explore six generic universal role-playing games systems for when you need something vanilla for your campaigns.
