Episode 145 - MHGG Oneshot - Jurassic Dread (Part One) May 29, 2019

Show notes

Our hosts felt it was time to try Dread once again! This time in the world of Jurassic Park. The main draw of this system is that it uses a Jenga tower to complete skill tests instead of regular dice. Adrian, Zach, and Jeff are joined by past guests Wes and Bob, both of which are on a spinoff podcast, The Mile High Dungeon Delvers. Please enjoy and know that Part 2 will be on Friday.
