February 08, 2023Nerdcognito - Episode 160: SparkleTrolls fall back in line; ”My Father’s Work” Board Game Review
You read that title correctly! The SparkleTrolls have quickly fallen back in step with Wizards... forgetting the atrocity that was the OGL "update" and even going so far as defending the action. Other RPG Options litter the news since YOU SHOULD be finding something else to play. Lastly, the boys finally got the hot Kickstarter "My Father's Work" to the board game table this week; they rundown and review this gem.
