- Series 68.2 - Life on the Edge with Maso Perez [Designer] (Creation Continued)
Welcome to the second episode of our special February series, everyone! February is the month of love, romance and relationships, so we're excited to invite Maso Perez to the studio in order to look at their new game Life on the Edge, the official Boyfriend Dungeon TTRPG from Kitfox Games, that lets you explore your inner psyche, confront your fears, and also smooch swords! In today's episode, we finish our characters and figure out what sort of scenario we would likely be playing in.
