About this podcast
One Shot is a podcast about role playing games. Every month, host and Game Master Dillin Apelyan leads a group of players on a self-contained adventure. Every adventure will be wrapped up in 4-5 episodes in time for a new story, in a new system, with new players the following month. One Shot will explore every RP system possible to give listeners a sampling of the possibilities in the wide, world of roleplaying.
