Tome Travelers

As the Tome Travelers, hosts John and Roxy go on a journey through roleplaying games of the past, present, and future. Sure, you know the big names in RPGs, but this is the show where we take a look at those settings and systems that you may not have heard of, and maybe even some that are out of print. Join us every other week as we travel through the tomes!
