This month, we're bringing an episode of our Patreon-exclusive show, Skitbash!, out from behind the paywall! Each month, our ensemble rolls on a table for a random play and a random TTRPG system and try to kitbash them together.

In this episode of Skitbash!, Ben, Tess, Percy, and Nick tackle a mashup of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion (and/or the better-known Lerner and Loewe musical My Fair Lady) with R. Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk Red. Tune in to hear how many different ways we can make Henry Higgins the bad guy (because he is) and whether or not this should be a musical about Eliza getting chromed up.
