Special - Roll the Bones

Special: This special episode is a little bit of everything--special content outside the normal game, actual play, and just plain zaniness. Welcome to the one-page RPG called Adventure Skeletons, a fun little system that is helping us to explore events in another part of Edelenn. Join Lefty, Slim, and Scabby as they're given a special mission, and find out what happens.

As Rhett notes in the intro to this episode, Adventure Skeletons is a great little game that doesn't take long to figure out. We don't quite get the combat rules right, but it worked to our advantage by reducing recording time, so we won't sweat it. Still, we encourage you to check it out and get the combat part right for a full experience.

We also want to give massive, massive thanks to Mike, the DM for Tales From the Glass-Guarded World, a clean TTRPG podcast that offers a marvelous story set in an engaging and well-planned world, with characters it's easy to fall in love with. Mike graciously put together a xylophone version of our normal theme song that evokes the skeletal silliness of the old Disney cartoon skellies and is a perfect intro and outro for the episode. We'll be sharing the full-length version of the piece in our Discord server, so if you haven't already dropped in, we'd love for you to join us today.
