Episode 218 of Speculate!–Tabletop Talk–Combining Worlds and Systems




Speculate! show

Summary: <br> In a special episode of Speculate 2.0, Mike and Greg chat about taking an existing world from fantasy or science fiction and combining it with a pre-existing system, as Mike recently did in a previous set of episodes combining Scum and Villainy and Star Wars, looking at how game mechanics can and should support good narrative, how to keep the world from overwhelming the system or vice versa, and how to make the resulting experience feel as if it’s truly part of the world rather than just window dressing.
