Description

In this episode the guys chat about ludonarrative dissonance, the tendency of games to have gameplay and mechanics that fail to match up with the story attached to them. Glenn suggests that in the case of tabletop games it has far more to do with a break between the "front end" experience of the players and the "back end" systems of running the game. Glenn and Mike are the developer and designer respectively of games such as Gaslands, Gaslands: Refuelled and A Billion Suns and here they talk about how, why and sometimes if to design tabletop miniatures games with discussions, tips, reviews and interviews.
