OTHER NOTES:
This episode is a test run -- my hope is to get feedback and make Working 2050 even better.
Feel free to email me at kappklot@gmail.com with thoughts, feedback, and more.

Pathfinder is a real (and very popular) game from Dungeons and Dragons. The 2050 career as a whole is likely a direct descendant of RPG games like played with this system. However, this template is unlikely to be the basis for Ursula Delany's game The Demon Within.

We tell ourselves so many stories about work -- what we do all day, and how we feel about it.
When we imagine how people will feel about what they do all day in the future -- we get a little closer to changing the future for the better. -
