One Hour One-Offs
43 episodes - English - Latest episode: 7 months ago -Hey everyone, it's Alex, Blake and Derek. Welcome to One Hour One Offs, the only RPG podcast with a real life timer. Each episode will be a one real life hour long competition between player and DM, where the DM uses an in game contingency to end the session in disaster at the end of the hour. It is up to the player to use wit, wiles, and a healthy dose of luck to persevere, and prevent whatever dastardly plan the DM has in place. If fighting god mono e mono sounds unfair, it is, that's why our third cast member will act as moderator ensuring that everybody has a fighting chance. There are two main systems we are focusing on: the Star Wars Fantasy Flight Games system, and DnD fifth edition, with a mystery slot thrown in where the DM can bring any system they want to the table. So without further ado… hop on in and take a listen.
