Adventure 157: The Myth of Old School Exceptionalism

This is a great podcast!!! Sure am missing new episodes. ☹️. Lots of inspiration for your own campaign and play. Going on my third round of listening to all the episodes again. Again thanks to the hosts for putting there time in putting these together over all those years. You can run over and listen to Save for Half and get an awesome podcast by Some of the former hosts. Thanks again! Rob

I tried hard to like it but they kept talking about politics. It’s like a basic rule of society to not talk politics and religion but they just wouldn’t stop.
