Panda's Talking Games episodes

November 15, 2021 PTG 257 – All In The Family
Show us how you set up family dynamics in your game! Phil and Senda talk family dynamics and specific safety conversations you might want to have when setting up PCs who are all related. Also: you may note in this episode that we keep talking about how we are supposed to be off. We actually recorded this for release last week, when we had announced we would be off, but due to the mental health circumstances of the editor (hi, that’s me) it didn’t get released…so we ended up missing the week we said we’d miss anyway. We are back, and while the holidays coming up mean that there will be some more weeks off coming up, we’ll do our best to keep you in tasty Panda listening for the winter gifting season!

October 11, 2021 PTG Chit Chat 15
Things got away from us this week — so we’re back with a chit chat! Phil and Senda talk what’s giving them life in gaming, and what’s giving them life outside of gaming (more briefly). Spoilers: Senda went back to Meow Wolf and is experiencing high engagement with the interactive access in really gamified ways! Phil is reading Cortex Prime!
