Description

Allison and Jon talk about his rules-lite fantasy RPG for 1 to 4 players "One Shot in the Dark", the nostalgia of playing Old School Revival-style games, and why it's important to create space for the imagination. "One Shot in the Dark" is a great game for adults, kids, or mixed-age groups and is suitable for both beginner and veteran players!

Grab your copy of "One Shot in the Dark" (and its expansions) at Drive Thru RPG! Also available in Portuguese!

You can find Jon's audio drama podcast (designed for adults) "Tale Of The Manticore" on YouTube or your favorite podcast app.
