NOTE: While this is the 5th playtest recorded for the podcast, this is playtest 6. That is because playtest 5 is the one we recorded live at Origins 2019, which appeared on RPPR. If you haven't already, give it a listen here!
Ethan leads Greg, Ian, and friend of the podcast Brownie on another round of Red Markets, Black Death! A group of takers have to escort some horses to a coronation ceremony for King John. How hard can it be?
While Brownie is a great friend, he's also a Patron! 10$+ backers can participate in our quarterly backer games! If we cannot find a schedule that works, we invite backers to games with cast members, like this one!
Brownie: Thorthur Ormson, an Icelandic gentleman who picked the wrong year to go on pilgrimage.
Greg: Mathias, a knight who fled a castle that was beset by the 'plauge', fleeing with only his horse, a random kid, and his best friend's squire.
Ian: Seelie, an outlaw hunter from Ireland who was exiled due to picking up the wrong bounty.
