BONUS - John Wick: Play Dirty (Part 2)

346 - Project Sigil

Wizards of the Coast finally realized its 3d virtual tabletop for 5.5e Dungeons and Dragons: Project Sigil. While DMs Rob and Matt agree it is technically 3d and virtual and a tabletop...is Project Sigil a good VTT? Also, are you Gleemaxing?

344 - Triangle Agency

WARNING: The second half of this episode is for GENERAL MANAGERS ONLY

DMs Rob and Matt understand that your boss is a S.O.B. Triangle Agency is weird game (X-Files meets Severance meets 2025 capitalism). It is a great game. It may be one of the best designed TTRPGs we've ever read. Clock in. Save the world?
