Caverns of Shennog (Tales of Argosa)

Today something different! Not a review but a note about a game i participated in. A while back I joined Eric's RPG Discord to participate in his "Once upon a game" series and managed to land a spot in a Tales of Argosa one-shot. The series is essentially a group of experienced players and GMs coming together to kick the tires on as many game-systems as possible and see what we can learn from them. See below if you are interested in watching the actual play! Skip here if you are only interested in the discussion of the system at the end! I first skimmed the pdf, got really inspired and proceeded to print this monstrum out and study it more closely. I created an annoying aristocrat as a character and went in blindly. The game (and people) were great, and I learned that technology does actually matter at some point and that AirPods are just not good enough in terms of audio quality as a microphone for a podcast setup. I think we owe it to our fellow online players to get nicer…
