  • Superb TTRPG (D&D and friends) podcast focused on comparing and contrasting rules across systems, exploring updates, and trialing lesser known TTRPG systems. The three hosts capture the banter and chemistry of a strong live play podcast while delivering information that can help make you a better DM or GM.
