While we\'re on the subject of table top role playing games, Kyle recommends these two related podcasts listeners might enjoy:\\xa0

The Conspiracy Skeptic podcast (on which host Kyle was recently a guest) had a great episode\\xa0"Dungeons and Dragons - The Devil\'s Game?"\\xa0which explores claims of D&Ds alleged ties to skepticism.\\xa0

Also, Kyle swears there\'s a great\\xa0Monster Talk\\xa0episode discussing claims of a satanic connection to Dungeons and Dragons, but despite mild efforts to locate it, he came up empty. Regardless, listeners of the Data Skeptic Podcast are encouraged to explore the back catalog to try and find the aforementioned episode of this great podcast.\\xa0

Last but not least, as mentioned in the outro,\\xa0awesomedice.com\\xa0did some great independent empirical testing that confirms Game Science dice are much closer to the desired uniform distribution over possible outcomes when compared to one leading manufacturer.
