I answer call-ins from my Many Paths to Travel episode. And then I talk about incorporating player character morale into Mark of the Odd games.

Featured Game: A story game that I play with my family in the car. I need to come up with a name for it.

In Chainmail, there are many combat systems. Unfortunately they got superseded pretty quickly by a unified, d20 mechanic. I like the idea of multiple systems that do the same thing differently. I would love to see robust travel systems, especially.

I took a walk and recorded a podcast, reflecting on this bitter-sweet time for us. I also do a mild recap of Advent Calendar box.

I highlight the board game, Robinson Crusoe, and answer some calls concerning games withing games and card mechanics. Another Call-In episode will come very soon.

I interview my daughter on her gaming experiences focusing on our games of Mausritter powered almost exclusively by random tables and her reaction to her first TPK.

Does Mirke the Meek show his ignorance on podcasting, implicit operators, and literary history? You be the judge (keeping it civil, of course)!

I say there are going to be 5 call-ins, but there's only two in this episode to keep the length under 30 minutes.

The game mentioned at the top is: Lego City Alarm (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/116978/city-alarm).
