Don't Call Us Heroes: A Tabletop RPG Adventure

Windy City Dice Boyzwww.dcuhshow.com

It can be hard to be a hero, but it is harder to ignore those cries for help while going to the local tavern. Twice a month, join Tim, Kyle, Joe, Kumar, Jon, and Alli as they run around ruining whatever story Sean has made ahead of time. Whether you are new to tabletop role-playing podcasts or a tried and true hardcore gamer, you should enjoy the team sitting down, sharing a drink and a good time while killing owlbears and arguing about the cost of TRex jerky. Surprisingly little dragons or dungeons to be found!
