Thought Eater Podcast: Five Minute Friday: Review: Mehliu: Blood 'N' Bone

Hey everybody. Quick review today on the podcast of a new D&D variant, Mehliu: Blood 'N' Bone. I thought this was a cool mix of old and new...like OD&D old and 5e new. It also adds a mechanical twist to give it an original feel.
