About THACO's Hammer

Welcome to the best damn AD&D 2nd Edition Podcast, EVER! In this podcast we discuss, crack wise, and debate topics and products during the 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons run, which took place from 1989 to 1999. We've been doing this podcast since 2010. That's right. Over 15 years now. And we're still going. We're working on getting the back catalog reposted, so please be patient.
