Manage episode 389712243 series 3517843
Today on the show, I discuss role-playing games with Bill Tucker, an experienced improv actor and tabletop role-playing gamer. Bill and I get philosophical about good and evil, when we can't be the person we want to be, and Darth Vader's poor fashion choices.
