So You Want To Be A Hero
We started as five best friends who decided to turn our home game into a podcast, bringing unapologetic, chaotic energy to the table. We’re still rolling those same dice in our flagship campaign, but our table has gotten a lot bigger. Now, we are growing; featuring new community-driven Actual Plays and exclusive Behind-The-Scenes interviews with the creators shaping the hobby. Whether you’re here for the epic campaigns or the shop-talk, there's an open chair waiting for you.
