In this series, we are thrilled to welcome Dillin Apelyan, brand new host of the One Shot Podcast, to talk about their marvelously meta TTRPG, Metalepsis, a game that breaks the 4th wall between a creator and a created character! In today's episode, we create our characters and find out how we first make contact with one another!
