Listener Questions 01:19:22

@grnmushroom: I'd love to know how to get into Tabletop RPGs with a smaller gaming group. Like 2-3 people.

@The_Doc_Webb: I'd love to hear some discussion of oddball tabletop RPGs. I'd humbly suggest HōL (Human Occupied Landfill), + which is handwritten, looks like a '90s zine, and reads like a fever dream
