Episode 009: Witcher Deep Dive: Maybe Lord Nowak's a Biter?

Episode 009: Witcher Deep Dive Pt9. The adventure "And to all a Good Night".  We're continuing our deep dive on the Witcher RPG by R Talsorian games.  The Witcher RPG came out in 2018 and since then R Tal. has promised a cleanup of the core book. With that in mind, we take on the book in detail - with a mind to looking at its strengths, weaknesses and what we'd change.   In Part 8 of our Witcher RPG deep dive we finally break.  We kept it professional up until now, but this...this is straight-up terrible.  So let's dissect this madlib of an adventure.     @ us on Bluesky; talesshelfpod.bsky.social Music by ebunny, find them on Pixabay.
