Crash Pandas - One Shot

Please note, this episode was recorded live and in person, and this game involves physical toy cars being rolled. The audio is fine, but not up to our normal standard of quality.

A trio of mobster raccoons hit the street in their souped up automobile. They enter a race with other cars operated by various animals from the zoo (and one with their worried handlers) to see who is the king of the animal underworld. Do these three have what it takes to make their rubber and souls burn and make it to the top?

Crash Pandas is yet another one pager by Grant Howitt, of using toy cars and unknown dice from your fellow PCs to do a wacky race. It is available, as always, at his itch.io page.
