Welcome to the final episode of Series 66, everyone! In this series, we sat down with three different designers live at the AcadeCon 2023 convention in Dayton, Ohio in the US! In today's episode, Ryan was able to sit down with the head of the AcadeCon convention as well as the RPG Academy, Michael Ross, to learn about Action 12 Cinema, an action movie RPG where you play as characters in a B-style action movie!
