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 warrior finds out the reason not to buy used armor.

This week, Morrus, Peter, and Jessica talk about the D&D Beyond purchase and the upcoming D&D Direct. In the news, two million-dollar RPG Kickstarters at once, Stranger Things reveals the season’s D&D-inspired villain, new releases from Chaosium, and more! Plus Our Favourite Game in All the World and a brand new sketch about being clear when ordering around your minions.
