RPG Bookclub

Welcome to the RPG Bookclub, a podcast where we play a little bit of a videogame, and talk about how it makes us feel.

RPG Bookclub is Sam Allmon, Elias "Sailor Eli" Warren, and Maddy Webbon. Join us each week as we discuss an approximately 6 hour chunk of an RPG we think deserves to be spotlit.

Please come join the conversation on our Discord!
