1 month ago

A podcast of recondite roleleplaying retrospectives and review, for game systems that deviate from the tried and true formula of your Dungeons and Dragons or your Pathfinder. Do you like making single session stories with your friends around your table? Weaving worlds on the fly? Running games with no game masters, or multiple? Or maybe games that complement an ongoing campaign, or piece into bizarre many-meting epics on a pack of note cards? Join us, as we explore the wide, weird, and wonderful worlds of cooperative storytelling, exciting worldbuilding, unique game mechanics, and lovely indie tabletop hipster nonsense, in this pen and paper podcast odyssey
