This week we have a talk about those feelings of burn-out that creep in on many of us from time to time. It happens, and sometimes, maybe just talking about it a little helps...
Short Episode this week due in-part to tech issues (Now resolved, I believe. I have opened up the computer and disconnected the offending audio components!)

One Steve, plus a guest this week! I'm joined by YouTuber XP Lovecat to have a talk about the benefits that we can gain from playing a variety of different games and systems. Yeah, I probably don't need to talk to most of our regular audience about this, but you could also point some of your friends who you're trying to convince to try other games to have a listen!

Part 3 of our little series here! This week we have a conversation around character death, and ways it can be handled in games. Also some talk around the (perhaps infamous) safety request of character death being taken off the table.
