A podcast about getting the most out of published modules for your tabletop roleplaying game. Every episode I take a look at a module to show you where the fun is and how you might want to tweak it to suit your game. I hope even if you decide not to play this particular module, you will get some interesting ideas out of it. This podcast is aimed at gamesmasters or players who want to be gamesmasters.
