Don't adjust your sets we've handed the mic to one of our listeners to give them a turn on the podcast in this experimental episode. Please give a warm welcome to Stewart Ennew who actually is part of our Loaded Dice Gaming Group and has been asking us for AGES about doing an episode around solo gaming, so we thought why not give him the mic and run it himself...enjoy
GUEST PLAYER: Stewart Ennew
OTHER PLAYERS: Rob, JP & Tambo
OVERVIEW
In this episode you'll learn:
