In this episode of the podcast I talk about a couple of games I’m playing in at the moment, and how ‘finding my fun’ has helped me enjoy different systems:
Random Things: Nautical Tattoos
The home-base of my Rose of Westhaven campaign is a small(ish) port-town called Porthcrawl, recently we had a game where most of the people in the town had turned up to a funeral, in thinking about what the various inhabitants would look like I was scrolling through various pictures on Google Image search and noticed… Read More »
