  • Politics in Gaming
    Sep 11 2024

    In today's episode I talk about politics in your stories. I try to take a look at how you can make a game using political systems and give your placers choices that are political in nature. Can you get your players more engaged if the options they need to choose from are morally gray? What types of governments can we use to make interesting stories and what sorts of political intrigue can we have with them? I try to answer these questions and more.
