Show Notes
This week, Fiona is joined by my friends from Roleplay Retcon, Alex, Ben and Jenise for City of Winter, a roleplaying game about a fantastical family saga and immigrant experience.
Designed by Ross Cowan and illustrated by Doug Keith, City of Winter is a story game which follows the journey of a family as they migrate from their home in the Riverlands to live in the City of Winter - a magical metropolis. Family members will age and die, traditions will be passed from one generation to the next, and the players will encounter new traditions that change the family over time.
You can find out more information about City of Winter and grab your own copy on The Heart of the Deericorn website.
