Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the third episode of series 86, everyone! In this series, we are covering our first LARP, Strangers on the ‘Net, an online live action roleplaying game where you play as 90’s teens pretending to be 90’s teens in an online fandom forum to pretend to be characters from a fandom you all know and love, with previous guest of the show and designer of this game, Allison K. Cole! In today’s episode, we talk the business side of TTRPGs with Allison as well as starting to get into our thoughts on how the character creation process went for this game!
