Just Played: Found Mar 07, 2022

Show notes

[#30] Jim just played Found!

It's by David MK, and still in devleopment, so it's not yet available for general release. It's a playset for the Cortex Prime system about 'shared-consciousness clone conspiracy' in the spirit of Sense8 and Orphan Black.

Cortex Prime is available from Fandom in PDF or gorgeous hardcover.
We organized this session via The Gauntlet Online Gaming Community.
After listening, indulge any unslaked Matt Ryan thirst.
