Enjoy Stuff: Dungeons & Drizzts with Mike Witwer

Adventure awaits in the realm of Dungeons &amp; Dragons! Long-time friend Mike Witwer shares the 4 books he has written for 2023. Special guest shazbazzar joins in on the fun and fantasy of D&amp;D!   Michael Witwer and shazbazzar join us on Enjoy Stuff as we talk about Dungeons &amp; Dragons movies, vintage products, and the four amazing books Mike has for fans of fantasy this year.    News Will we be able to finally see the long-awaited sequel to Honey, I Shrunk the Kids starring Rick Moranis? Josh Gad says we can with a little help from you! We have a new Superman and Lois!    Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends   What we’re Enjoying Jay took the plunge into the series Orphan Black. The Canadian series explores the ethics of cloning, in a dramatic setting of course. Shua listened to an Audible original story called Space: 1969 set in an alternate reality where John F Kennedy survived and pushed space exploration to the extreme. Narrated by Richard Nixon (Yes, that’s what I said) this comedy starring Natasha Lyonne was like nothing Shua expected.    MCU Location Scout Jay is back at work scouting MCU filming locations. This time he’s focusing on the newest Disney+ series Marvel’s Secret Invasion. An espionage series set in places all over the world is the perfect opportunity for you to explore Jay’s interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. And don’t forget to tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua breakdown each episode of the series.     Enjoy Dungeons &amp; Dragons!  Michael Witwer has become the foremost authority on Dungeons &amp; Dragons art and information books. Earlier this year he released  Dungeons &amp; Dragons: The Legend of Drizzt Visual Dictionary, and he has 3 more books coming out soon.    First we discuss the recent D&amp;D movie starring Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez, plus the other movies as well. Then we get into some of the vintage products that came out when we were growing up.    And finally we go over all the great books coming from Mike (and others) this year. First,  The Legend of Drizzt Visual Dictionary , which came out earlier this year, is a highly detailed explanation of RA Salvatore’s original character that has had so many adventures throughout the years.    Next, Mike’s first novel arrives August 29, 2023. It’s a middle grade reader book called  Vivian Van Tassel and the Secret of Midnight Lake. A story of a young girl who moves to a town with a lot of monstrous secrets. Inspired by Dungeons &amp; Dragons, any Gen X-er and young reader will thoroughly enjoy this story.    Coming October 3, 2023,  Lore &amp; Legends is a follow up to  Art &amp; Arcana and a beautiful celebration of the fifth edition of Dungeons &amp; Dragons.    And finally, the follow up to  Heroes’ Feast: The Official D&amp;D Cookbook that will be out November 7, 2023;  Heroes’ Feast - Flavors of the Multiverse. Just in time for your Thanksgiving feast!   What kind of Dungeons &amp; Dragons character are you? Did you have any of the vintage D&amp;D products? First person that emails me with the subject line, “I am Dungeon Master” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Author and D&amp;D historian Mike Witwer shares the details on his newest book The Legend of Drizzt Visual Dictionary, which is not only chock full of goodness on everyone’s favorite drow but the Forgotten Realms in general (as Mike puts it, "the Drizzt books are the greatest tour of the Forgotten Realms that the setting has ever gotten"). Mike has several other projects going as well, including a sequel to Art &amp; Arcana focusing on 5E, and a young adult novel featuring a historic game and a town that might seem familiar to D&amp;D fans! Some D&amp;D movie discussion. The importance of documenting D&amp;D and RPG history. Shane poses a tough question to Mike on what magic items he would choose from the Drizzt books. What books would Mike recommend to introduce someone to Drizzt?  Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #268 - 5/30/2023 Like what you hear?
