If you're into explosive pedal-to-the-medal narrative play that treats rules like nameless thugs in a John Wick movie, and WILL get you in trouble: you gotta check out our sister show Rude Tales of Magic!

We have so much more to show you. An entire campaign about Suvi, Ame, and Eursulon meeting for the first time as children, for instance. And would you believe, even more? Please, join us at Patreon.com/worldsbeyondnumber
