    Managing Your Digital RPG Collection

    Managing Your Digital RPG Collection

    In today's discussion, we're talking about the increasingly frustrating (to many) topic of managing your quickly-growing hoard of digital role-playing game materials. From books to apps to sheets and more, keeping them collected, organized, and - most important! - immediately accessible can be a massive PITA. Give us a listen to hear our thoughts and methods on organizing our files, and then drop by our Discord to share your own ideas!

    Drop us a line! You can follow us (sporadically) on Facebook, and we'd love to see you on our Discord Channel too. And let us know your thoughts by leaving a review on iTunes or any other podcast aggregate sites.
