Listen "Problem #13: The Railroad Paradox"
Episode Synopsis
This week Kristian and Tracy are joined by Chris Hussey, a prolific RPG podcaster, writer, and media producer to discuss the balance between the freedom of sandbox play, and the satisfaction of completing a more guided story. This problem is a deceptively challenging one from the designer's perspective, and we explore it from different angles while citing some of the ways different game systems, settings, and adventures handle it.Join our discord!: https://discord.gg/Bc9dvuzZYJThe Han Cluster® Role Playing Game Website: https://hancluster.comImmaterial Plane: https://immaterialplane.com/Bite Sized Tales Podcast: https://sites.libsyn.com/436095/siteAdventures of Young and Holt AP: http://ap.feartheboot.com/index.php/archives/76
