Description
Two longtime gamers, one from America and the other England, discuss tabletop roleplaying games, with a focus on how story, setting, and system can work together, and how sometimes they don't. We talk about 2d20 games, 5e, review books and resources, and share advice from our years of gaming to help you strike the right balance between story, setting, and system.
New episodes published every Wednesday. You can reach us on Facebook at Fluff N' Crunch or directly by email at fluffncrunchpodcast@gmail.com and @fluffncrunchpod
