Hey Gamefriends, GM John here!  Have you ever run through a tabletop adventure with your friends, but then wondered, what if people would’ve made different choices, or played different characters?  What if I’d had different players altogether? Would things change?  Well, we’ve felt the same way more than a few times, and so we decided to put that question to the test.  In our first version of the adventure, a man looking for his missing lover and a woman searching for clues to her ancestry visit a small town with the occult group they’re members of, and in the second, a long-time married couple on the precipice of either splitting up or making more roots ventures with their group to find a person one of them adores… and one of them doesn’t care for at all…Covenant of Dagon, two adventures using one module from the One Shot  Horror RPG, starts March 22nd, only on the Real Play Games podcast.This audio play-through of Covenant of Dagon is a Real Play Games Podcast production.  Covenant of Dagon is written by David Dudka and published by One Shot RPG.  You can find the adventure, the OSRPG Horror ruleset, and numerous other exciting products from One Shot RPG just by typing ‘OSRPG’ into your search bar on www.drivethrurpg.com.  If you’d like to help support the show at no cost to you when you shop online for RPGs, feel free to use our affiliate link, it really helps! https://www.drivethrurpg.com/index.php?affiliate_id=177655 If you want to reach out to the Real Play Games Podcast, feel free to email us at realplaygamespodcast@gmail.com or reach us on Twitter @realplaypod, on Instagram @realplaygamespod, on Tumblr under RealPlayGamesPodcast or on Bluesky @realplaygamespod.bsky.social  If you’d like to help support the show, as well as get early access to episodes, exclusive episodes, and behind-the-scenes looks at how we make our adventures, head on over to www.patreon.com/realplaygamespod and become a Patron today! Support the show
