Unto the Roll
by Unto the Roll
Once more unto the roll! In this actual play podcast, Cole, Tony, Chris, Frank, and a rotating guest explore and evaluate various TTRPG systems through mini campaigns and brief reviews once the dust settles. We also try to discuss and teach the mechanics along the way… with varying levels of success. Serious stories. Slightly less serious players. Shenanigans ensue. New episodes every other Tuesday at 5 AM Eastern. Listen to our playthrough of Fiasco if you want some rampant silliness (with admittedly less than stellar audio), or dive right into our first campaign: Avatar Legends.
