20. Jordan’s Journey into Game Design Madness

Another fun group-conversation with John & Nate, and another old friend, Eric. (Bonus-amounts of banter!) Our main topic: PC Fear, fury, and self-control. My desire in RPGs is to escape a miniature wargaming mindset, to encourage the feeling that the characters are people, not 2-D caricatures. In this case we address the question of PC fear, rage, or even laziness overwhelming their cold, rational sides. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/primeval-fantasy/message
