Episode 3: We have a little something different for you in the pub this week. We're talking with Will Munn and Drew Gerken, two of the creators of Arium, an indie published tabletop role playing game or TTRPG focused on broad and diverse story creation. We also have our first non-alcoholic  episode and we're sipping a few different rooibos chais along with our discussion. Like any good pub, we strive to cater to lots of tastes, boozy or not. 

In this episode, we discuss what Arium is, how it differs from other TTRPGs like D&D, as well as some of the parallels and key differences indie game publishing has to indie book publishing. There's been a lot of well deserved buzz surrounding Arium and after interviewing these two, it's easy to see why. Definitely give this a listen whether you're into gaming or not. The process is fascinating.
