There's a vast range of tabletop roleplaying games out there, across a multitude of genres! But the hardest part is always reading up on the rules, getting an adventure together and then getting a group of people to play -and teach- at the same time. Join us each series as we try to play as many games as possible and teach you anything you need to know as well! Some fun, some scary, some vastly different - But all to show you just how fun Tabletop Roleplaying Games can be! Socials and more of us! - https://linktr.ee/SystemHoppers

    [23] Shiver Corporate (Final Part) - The Exec-ucutioner!

    Our legal team would like to remind you that making false claims about being dragged into, and injured in mysterious hell portals is a false allegation that can lead to immediate dismissal from the workforce. We also feel obligated to mention that also if there was some kind of mysterious portal - it would also technically take you offsite and so Cornwall is not responsible for any injuries that would or would not occur in that space. Please refrain from sharing anything you have discussed today with your colleagues when you do return to work as well - wouldn't want to harm morale or start any false rumours now would we? Of course you understand! Host/Directorate Manager (DM) - Mark Goddard (@Exxorian) Players: Tolben: Linda Stanton (The Maverick) - Check them out on ⁠⁠Twitch⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠!
