  <itunes:subtitle>Happy New Year! My apologies for the delay on this episode. For our third Parleys at the Platter special, I invited Dr. Paul Gestwicki, Alyssa Visscher, Benjamin Huffman, and Mark Thompson back onto the podcast to discuss something in the zeitgeist with the new 2024 Rules being published: the nature of game design, the idea of play, and how it all relates to D&amp;D.  So join this globe-spanning panel (USA, Canada, and the UK) as we discuss everything from the 3rd party developers and homebrew content, to OSR &amp; 4th Edition, and our (at the time) speculations and hopes for the 2024 rules.</itunes:subtitle>
