Happy 1979 ,

Endless creativity and warmth!

Role-playing is endlessly creative as a past-time, but too much of it focuses on DnD. Dan and Rachel make new games feel easy and fun, and bring such warmth and joy to their stories that it’s impossible not to listen! Can’t wait for every new episode, and hope they keep it up for years to come!

Great podcast

I’ve been into dnd for awhile, but have been wondering about different ttrpg. This podcast has introduced me to those, also the hosts are great. The humor of a young kid, and the experience of her dad is a great combo.
