Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk

The Warehouse melee begins as the group searches for The Dutchess' necklace.  They get a little more than they bargain for as CorpSec puts up a good fight, however.

This week, Morrus and Peter count down the Top 10 Most Anticipated Roleplaying Games of 2019 as voted on by readers of EN World! In the news, we have a new Star Wars setting book, lots of Starfinder and Pathfinder news, an update on the ongoing GAMA Board of Directors story, and more! Plus another new listener-submitted sketch and Our Favorite Game in All the World!
