Elliot Davis sits down again with Brian Flaherty to review and critique the first ever playtest of the never-before-played TTRPG Schröedinger's Cats while also responding to player feedback about the game from Kevin Bauer, Abby Hepworth, and Julia Schroeder. Together, they all try to take this game from Playtest to Version 2.0.

My First Dungeon is the tabletop role-playing podcast where we put first-time GMs through their paces as we build and run their first adventure and then circle back around to discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how they can make their game better. This is a three part series. Episode one is all about prep, where we will focus on building the session, understanding the GM’s worries, and setting them up for success. Then it's out of the frying pan and into the fire in episode two where our nascent Game Master will run their very first game for a group of experienced players. Then in episode three we will look back on that first game and discuss what went right, what went wrong, and how we can improve.
