- Leisure
A podcast all about the latest tabletop roleplaying game news! From D&D and Pathfinder to the latest indie games, it won’t necessarily be accurate, or informative, or even competent, but we will try to have fun! Join ENnies creator, EN Publishing CEO, and EN World owner Morrus, Southampton Guild of Roleplayers founder Peter Coffey, and EN Publishing Business Manager Jessica Hancock each week. You might learn something. But you probably won’t.
