  • Hell yeah

    This is such a great podcast. I read a lot of ttrpgs but get to play fewer, and I really appreciate getting to hear examples of how indie ttrpgs might play. I can only hope the current host Dillin gets a little kiss on ber forehead in exhange for the love bee shows to the hobby and the community.
