    A service to the community
    Marx does the essential work of providing a platform for creators who might not have one of their own. They shine a spotlight on worthy games that get buried under the marketing budget of other commercial products. They make space for conversations that will push the hobby in new and vital directions. This is the bleeding edge of RPG in the most beautifully humble way.
  • galaxyowl

  • daveyz.
    The best
    Best place. Really the best place to listen to brilliant people “wittering on about TTRPGs”. Inspiring. Fun. And inspiring. And fun. Good stuff.
