Step behind the scenes of Iron Rising Season 1 as the cast dissects the devastating conclusion to our Starforged actual play. In this talkback, we dive deep into the creative "bleed" and emotional exhaustion of the finale, exploring how the sibling bond between Dorian and Selene fractured under the weight of duty and ideology.

We also discuss our evolution from heavy session prep to a more fluid, "fast and loose" style, the mechanical challenges of inevitable PvP, and the world-building tools that brought the districts of Hyperion City to life.
