This is a great pod for getting a feel for different rpgs. Each series covers creating characters with a guest who plays or actually made the game. Amelia and Ryan are great together. They are a bit of yin and yang in their characters and complement each other in their approaches. I have listened since nearly the beginning and the chemistry between them continues to work. I really appreciate the pods with actual play guests, see Blades in the Dark, to get me into games and other podcasts. If I could leave a rating here it would be 5/5. Thanks. @CreationCast @gingerreckoning @lordneptune
