This week, we welcome the cast of the Tabletop Journeys podcast to talk about their newest book on the DM's Guild, The Traveler's Guide to the Multiverse. Join us as we discuss siege weapons, items inspired by planar travel, and some preliminary speculation about Spelljammer.
An apology before starting: we had some technical issues with recording - Ian's audio recorded through his webcam, not his microphone, so his audio sounds very muffled and echoic. We cleaned it up as best we could, and everyone else's audio came out fine. We will be sure to have our normal high-quality audio for next week's episode.
You can find our guests on Twitter (@ttjourneys), or via their website, ttjourneys.com. You can also find their book on the DM's Guild here: https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?author=Tabletop%20Journeys

This week, we take a look at the free preview released by MCDM for their newest project, "Flee, Mortals! The MCDM Monster Book". There's a ton of great stuff in even so small a package, so we don't get through all of it, but we do start into creating a scenario with the provided goblins that helps to showcase what some of these creature variants can do to un-boring your game.
You can find the PDF of the free sample here: https://files.mcdmproductions.com/FleeMortals/FleeMortalsPreview.pdf

This week, we tackle the issues we feel exist with the ranger class in 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, and try to bring it up to par with the other martial and half-caster classes. We also present our new variant class: the Urban Ranger, which is a translation of the same variant class from the 3rd Edition sourcebook Unearthed Arcana, complete with three new archetypes - the Exterminator, the Thief Catcher, and the Vigilante.
This week's episode is sponsored by last week's guest, MySoundDelve. Find them in the App and Google Play Stores, or on Twitter at @MySoundDelve.
