This game forces you to roleplay and we love it! This was an amazing experience and one we hope to try again! Can't recommend Avatar enough!

We took a long break to : go camping, move house and (for one of us) to get married! We're back to finish off our test of Cyberpunk Red and it has been a hell of a game!! We'll definitely revisit this one at some point to get into the virtual world built by this system!

EP 4: We Learn Fallout!
John walks us through how the mechanics of the Fallout RPG! Is it faithful to the video game? Do you get to build a base? Can you eat a lizard? Does radiation suck? Yes!!! This game looks like a heap of fun and we're fired up to play it.... once we learn how!
