Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk

Each week we revisit a short skit from the main podcast, a year or more back. In this one, the Adventurer’s Support Line gets a call requesting help determining if someone is a doppelganger.

This week, Morrus and Peter are joined by Cubicle 7 CEO Dominic McDowall to talk about the history of the studio, Doctor Who, Middle-earth, Warhammer, and more! In the news, Wizards of the Coast launches a new video game studio, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous video game launches on Kickstarter, Dungeons & Dragons Unearthed Arcana meets controversy, and more plus Our Favorite Game in All the World and a brand new sketch about murderhoboing in space, the final frontier.
