Synopsis

As the Tome Travelers, hosts John and Roxy go on a journey through roleplaying games of the past. Sure, you know the big names in RPGs, but this is the show where we take a look at those settings and systems that are harder to find, or even out of print. Each month, we’ll take one episode to give you an overview of the system, where it came from and what happened to it, and then, in the follow-up episode, we will go through the character creation process. Join us every other week as we travel through the tomes!
