Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, a player's abilities are a bit close to their character's.

This week, Morrus, Peter, and Jessica talk about the controversy around “evil races”. In the news, a new playtest for Dragonlance, a preview of Blade Runner, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Theives footage screened, and more! Plus Our Favourite Game in All the World and a brand new sketch about the friendliness of bearowls.
