Thankless Roll Players: a TTRPG actual play podcast

The gang continues their task of destroying the good name of another house via the weapon of theatre, but not before discussing how to once and for all rid themselves of a particularly bothersome thorn in their side, as we continue our playthrough of a Couple of Drakes' "Court of Blades".

Rob gives us an overview of the game, and leads us through house and character creation - all in just under an hour - in our session zero of "Court of Blades"
