Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, an adventurer is worried about their previously chatty sword suddenly taking silent.

This week, Morrus and Peter are joined by Shawn Rourk to talk about his cyberpunk roleplaying game Identeco. In the news, the Pathfinder 2^nd Edition Beginner Box was announced, ICv2 industry sales numbers for 2019 are in, multiple conventions canceled including PaizoCon, Harlem Unbound 2^nd Edition released, and more! Plus Our Favorite Game in All the World and a brand new sketch about a DM struggling for ideas.
