What makes a good character sheet? It’s the first impression any new player will have to a system. This week, Morrus and Peter look to find what features a character sheet needs and how to spot one that will do more harm than good. In the news, we’ve got a new class from one of Dungeons & Dragons 5e’s designers, a streamlined Borg Cube for Star Trek Adventures, more Allies and Adversaries for Fantasy Flight’s Star Wars, and more! Plus a new sketch and Our Favorite Game in All the World!

This week, Russ (who still has the plague) and Peter count down the Top 20 RPG Podcasts with the 10 best Actual Play podcasts and 10 best RPG talk podcasts! 9,099 votes on 99 nominated podcasts! In the news, Pathfinder Playtest closes, a new D&D class coming to Unearthed Arcana, the most popular games on Fantasy Grounds of 2018, and more! Plus Our Favorite Game in All the World and another listener-submitted sketch!
(Editor’s Note: Due to Russ’s voice, I had to raise the overall volume of the recording which means the room echo is a bit more pronounced than normal.)
