How to Make A Literal Cat in Your Favorite RPG

Joel Holland & Avalon Erwin

We hope you"re not here to learn character creation in new roleplaying systems, because here, we"re all about breaking rules to adapt the character creator to let us play as a basic, run-of-the-mill cat. We accept no cop-outs, we don"t acknowledge Homebrew materials, and we... very rarely come close to a pure and simple feline, but we do have fun along the way! Join us every other Wednesday to see what RPG we try to learn next! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
