When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

#crowdsourcing : I need some entry connection to the #French #TTRPG scene for my podcast, especially people who can give me some history or overview. Kind of overwhelmed by such a large scene. Contact would need to be in English, my French is almost non-existent.

So I am in Munich right now (selfie in front of FLGS on Monday!) and the street names here are just wild. Lindwurm is German for wyvern. Now I want to write a 2-page RPG called Lindwurm.
