Good ep. I was interested in the conversation about whether the spark tables were "story-gamey" and how Sam brought up abstraction. Something I think about a lot is that while all games require inference, some ask players to do deduction (general -> details), others abduction (detail -> general).

So would you rather run MB or Pendragon? Didn’t hear much of a comparison between them despite the surface level similarities

I like the critical view y’all take on some indie darlings, and I agree that mythic bastionland would be improved with at least a sample realm pre-seeded with myths and such. my question is whether you think this or wolves upon the coast would be easier to prep for & run?
