In this episode, Justin (@MothLands) and Ian (@Antifinity) talk with Stras (@strasa), co-author of Scum and Villainy and Band of Blades, announcing his upcoming new game, Spell and Blade. We discuss how far you can take a hack and keep it Forged in the Dark, and some general design tips (spoiler: coauthors help a ton). We also dip into how Stras plans to handle magic and spellcasters in Spell and Blade.
