    Game Building Part 1 - Setting

    Herein we offer and discuss our ideas for the games we each are going to write, kicking around setting ideas that point toward the sorts of stories the games will help tell and will inform the sorts of system decisions we’ll each have to make.

    If you’re interested in game design, and what we think is a vital issue - the nexus of system, setting, and story - this episode is for you.

    Mechanics Discussed pt1 - The Most Basic Dice System

    Mechanics…what makes RPGs games, and often a source of either interest or frustration, depending on how they work.

What opportunities and limitations does it present? What form of it do we like best? We ended up surprising ourselves with the answer to that last one.
