It’s gonna be on April 29th! The weird thing, it will have already happened by the time this show drops! Lol. It was an AMAZING time. Laugh were had.

Leo is pictured at daycare with a dashing smile and model levels of posing. This Portuguese water dog is absolutely STUNNING! Thanks for sharing Leo with us, Evan, and thanks for breaking the bottle over the back of the "fresh MUP" ship each time it sails.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Main Topic<br> <br> <br> <br> That Graham interview was so fantastic. I hope we can get him back sometime before 2033. At least 2032.<br> <br> <br> <br> To build on that conversation, which I was sorry to miss, I wanted to get us talking about Cthulhu Dark and other rules light investigative games. We both have experience with CD, so let’s start with a couple questions about the gameplay.<br> <br> <br> <br> First– let’s discuss the rules– because they’re decadent! <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * What are your favorite parts of running or playing in a CD game?<br> <br> <br> <br> * What is a favorite story from a CD game that couldn’t happen in a game with more mechanics?<br> <br> <br> <br> * What do you think is different when playing a CD scenario?<br> <br> <br> <br> * What do you think is different when running a CD scenario?<br> <br> <br> <br> * What do you think is different when designing a CD scenario?<br> <br> <br> <br> * Do you miss anything from CD or other rules light investigative games?<br> <br> <br> <br> * How would you design a rules light game differently?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
