Series 39.2 - Chimera with Amr Ammourazz and Ryan Boelter [Designer] (Creation Continued)

2 hours 41 minutes

Welcome to the second episode of Series 39, everyone! This series, we’re finally tackling the game that Ryan has been talking about for ages, Chimera, a Powered by the Apocalypse game that allows you to blend genres together and create unique worlds and people. Today, Ryan again takes a backseat as a guest along with co-designer Amr Ammourazz, while Senda from Panda’s Talking Games, Gnome Stew and She’s a Super Geek takes over co-host duties with Amelia! We’ll be finishing up character creation and world building for our group in this episode, and it’s quite a lengthy one at that!
