Quest In Show

By James D

Quest in Show is a play podcast where each episode, a new adventurer steps up to fix a broken kingdom.

The story develops based on actions taken by the players - whether they intend to save the day or just want to line their pockets.

Hosted and Game Mastered by James D (@hotcyder). Quest in Show uses a simple yet flexible system to quickly create characters and get them into the thick of it.
