John and JS were out for our last Session Friday, so Dave assembled Josiah, Celeste, Squid, and Eric to play a very meta game of Goat Crashers. Goat Crashers, if you haven't heard of it, is a one-page RPG created by Grant Howitt. In the game one player (the Goat Master) leads a group of goats through a party-crashing adventure. We took a step further and had Wilder - not Dave - run the game with Pough, Aelin, Callum, and Stumblefoot all playing their goats. Grant Howitt has some other great one-pagers, like Honey Heist and Trashkins we've played away from the podcast. They're free, so you should check them out to play at your own table!
