July 16, 2018 Panda’s Talking Games 115 – Grayman’s Grabbid Grabbits
Iiiit’s the July Grab Bag part one! Senda’s going on vacation so this needed to be faster to edit. On today’s episode, we cover mashing up magical girls with cyberpunk, how to handle character death in one shots vs. campaigns, and how to support your friendly local GM. We’ll have one more grab bag this month and then back to our regularly scheduled “short form” topics! We were slightly more explicit in language than usual. Also, blue raspberry, it’s hot, and I fail to follow Phil’s jokes this week. You stuck your chocolate in my peanut butter!
