This is about exploring the game setting and system, using it's main book as the primary word to run it.Do we always get it right? No, but we make improvements.Do we always agree? No, but we respect opinions.Do we always have fun? Yes, this is the real goal.Ultimately the point is to have fun, we hope you have fun too!Slowly, past episodes will be updated with edited versions but the entire show is largely unedited.We try to post a show every second Saturday and you might even hear me mess up the lead in sometimes :) Hosted on Acast.
