OOC 222: You're Nothing But a Pack of Cards

August 01, 2012

You need two action chips and a Queen of Hearts to kill the orc.
This week, the crew take their adventurers and investigators into the land of meeples and cardboard.  Do board game elements improve or hinder role-playing games?  We approach the topic from several angles--the power of tactile learning tools, the power to control outcomes, and the effects on suspension of disbelief.
We'll be going on a brief hiatus after this episode.  We'll be back in a couple weeks to wrap up season two with our very first live episode of Out of Character!  Join us, along with game designer John Wick, on our Livestream (http://www.livestream.com/pulpgamer) channel on August 21st at 7PM Pacific.  See you there!
