-- Description --
New topic, new name, same spirit! Talking gaming, there is a perpetual debate between how many rules you need or how much crunch you prefer - but are we asking the wrong question? Do we actually care about the mechanics of the game, or do we care about the way it handles at the table?

Then - some voicemail conversation: folks are interested in maps, drawing maps, and whether or not they should be taken away!

Passionate, as well, and want to get in on the conversation, yourself? New! Send in a voicemail on SpeakPipe:
