Welcome to the final episode of series 70! 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, learn more about Dillin, discuss the character creation process, and get into some really fantastic fanfic before learning how the game normally is resolved!
