This live episode discusses what will be new for the fourth season. We plan to have shorter book reviews in our live episodes, along with special segments. To that end, I review the new Mothership bounty hunting supplement, Wages of Sin.
We're also hosting a book club on game design, where each host reads and discusses multiple books with backers.
