We just released our episode about our inspirations for D&D and other RPGs. These books, shows and other media were very formative for us and serve as inspiration for how and even why we play today.
We’d love to hear what inspires you! Leave a post with your inspiration, what do you keep going back to for new ideas or what really shaped you into the role player you are today?
