... But It’s a TTRPG! Star Trek Adventures Lower Decks content (ft. Jim Johnson and Al Spader) | Lower Dorks Podcast

It's a little known fact that the Lower Dorks hosts are TTRPG afficionados... and with a Lower Decks themed expansion to Star Trek Adventures coming out this summer, it's a perfect time to talk about it! Don't know what a TTRPG is, or why you should care? We talk with Modiphius experts on the project (Project manager Jim Johnson and writer Al Spader) to fill in the blanks! (We also do play a fill in the blanks game in this episode too).
