Listens for new DMs & adventurers
I've been playing D&D as a Dungeon Master for a few years now, and now that I find myself with quite a bit of free time on my hands, I think I've played more hours over the past month than I have in the prior six. I've been excited to see a surge in interest in the game as others are looking for fun, new things they can do remotely with friends and family. All you new would-be DMs and adventurers are in for in for a treat. I can't think of a better bonding experience than saving a small hamlet from a hoard of possessed direwolves with some of your favorite people (real-life example). If you're looking for something totally immersive to take your mind off things, I can't recommend the hobby enough. Here are some listens to get you into the spirit—covering the history, lore, and strategy of the game. —Sam, Audible Editor-
