Always insightful

It seems that surely everyone in the gaming community subscribes to this by now by in case they don’t - this is not to be missed. Ken and Robin are both amazing game designers. The standard format is to have 4 segments on a rotating series of topics (or “huts”) - starting almost always with the Gaming Hut, but among their many huts you’ll find Conspiracy, Elliptony (crazy theories), Espionage, Cartography, Film, and Food.
