Welcome to the first episode of series 75, everyone! In this series, we sat down with game designer Cat McDonald about their brand new post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG, Rangers of a Broken World. In today’s episodes, Cat walks us through what the game is all about before starting to get us into character creation, and we have a lot of fun all along the way!
