Founded in 1985 by the legendary tabletop RPG creator Mike Pondsmith, R. Talsorian Games is one of the world's oldest and most beloved TTRPG publishers. Now, we're proud to announce Mike's son Cody Pondsmith - a noted designer in his own right, as creator of R. Talsorian's Witcher RPG - is joining us live in Discord for an AMA about his brand new game, Shadow Scar! Attend for free, and you could win stacks of digital Cyberpunk and Witcher RPG books worth a combined 150 bucks.
Pondsmith will be with us from 11.30am ET / 8.30am PT / 4.30pm BST on Thursday, September 25 for a full hour of questions and discussion about Shadow Scar, his other games, and career in RPG design.
Shadow Scar is Cody's 20 year labor of love: a multi-dimensional, multi-setting blitz of Yokai demons and Ninjutsu trained secret agents - and this is your chance to hear all about it from the creator's own mouth. To get involved, all you need to do is join our free Discord community, mark your calendar for Thursday, and come along!
