Runequest RPG Ep. 1 (Part 1)
It was a steep learning curve, but this was where the GROGPOD first began. This is a remastered version of the original recording. Nothing has been re-recorded, but the levels have been balanced, some light editing of pauses, and chapters added.
In this first episode, I open up the Runequest GROGNARD file, as it’s the game that we first played all those years ago.
