Narrative Damage
An actual play TTRPG podcast where your favourite authors swap their pens for dice and gather together to tell tales. Join them as they explore games including Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, Alien, The One Ring and many more through immersive world-building and high-stakes storytelling (with fun and drama in equal measure!) Between scenarios, we sit down with TTRPG legends for deep-dive interviews.
Craft worlds. Roll dice. Tell stories.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
