discussing story, system, and what makes RPGs tick…
As game masters and writers, we want to expose how narratives and mechanics influence each other, shaping the outcomes of our games. Sometimes we will include one shot Actual-Plays to demonstrate different systems or methods of play, and have various guests join in the discussion.
