Series 73.1 - TMNT and After the Bomb with Jef and Jon from System Mastery (Creation)

2024-07-01

Welcome to the start of series 73! This series, Amelia agreed to cover TMNT for Ryan's birthday month! So we invited Jef and Jon from the System Mastery podcast to join us and help us through the experience. Since TMNT is so small, we are also covering Palladium's After the Bomb to give us more options and a more robust setting! This episode, we learn all about these two games, including a really interesting history for the TMNT game itself.Character Creation Cast Patreonhttps://patreon.com/charactercreationcastAnnouncements: Dungeonmeister: A Drink Master’s Guide
