Description
Phil, Chris, Bob, and Jerry play and discuss a campaign they’ve created and are playing. Now, instead of just hearing them talk about the theory of gaming and game mastering of the games they're playing you can actually hear what they do at the table. It’s come full circle in their exploratory play series, MM Plays.
