In our third episode Sean and I dive into a mechanic this time! We discuss games that use dice pools as clocks for events in-game and we build a fun, chaotic superhero game that leans into the Villainy of it all. Join us as we jot down trope-y supervillain things, build some fun mechanics and generally have a great time!

In our second episode Jesse and I tackle the idea of co-opting the pieces of existing games to build an RPG, similar to games like Dread and its iconic use of a Jenga tower. Join us as we talk about everything from Chess to Gloomhaven and spend some time hammering out the semblance of a game.
