In this episode Scruffy and Norm are joined by Shawn Tomkin, designer of Ironsworn, to discuss the upcoming sci-fi sequel Ironsworn: Starforged. Both Scruffy and Norm have been playing Starforged using playtest files and in this special episode they look to unpack the differences from Ironsworn and hope to give you an idea of what makes this sequel special. Shawn shares his thoughts on the game's design, his inspiration behind his choices and gives some tantalizing info on what we can expect from the Starforged Kickstarter.

Listener question:  What is your favourite sequel to a solo game?
