In this episode we explore how Framing & Mindset shape every tabletop experience. Whether a game feels like tense horror, absurd comedy, or grounded realism often has as much to do with the rules themselves, as it does with how players frame their expectations. Complexity, tone, and even genre emerge from the collective agreement on what kind of story everyone is here to tell. From crunchy systems to narrative-driven ones, we unpack how the same mechanics can produce entirely different experiences depending on how you choose to play.
