[PREVIEW] Design Session #71: Picking Up the Pace

Hey we looked at the schedule and realized we were not going NEARLY fast enough to get Threadspinner ready in time for the playtest to start this spring! So, from here on out, we're gonna be doing a lot more off-mic designing, and use these episodes to partially talk through some design questions, but mostly to update y'all on the work we've been doing throughout the week. For instance: last week, we told y'all we'd be designing The Executed this week. Instead, we've designed The Executed, The Mixologist, AND The Divinity! Four down, five to go!
