Interview with Steve Dee

They seek to know their place in this world, to know if their visions are real. The Oracle can help them choose a path, but will they find what they seek?

A partner of mine, Rae was visiting this week for the first time. We decided to play my favourite RPG of 2018, Oracle by the wonderful Ash McAllan.
