One of my favorite games is Face to The Mat (FttM) by Plaay Games, yet it goes long periods of time without making it to the tabletop. In this episode I'll explore some of the reasons I think that is and strategies I plan to implement to make it easier to get FttM on my tabletop.

This is the first episode in a mini-series event where I discuss building the narrative in History Maker Baseball. Today's episode features a deep dive review of the Main Results chart in the Game Action Booklet (5.0). I'm hoping that after listening to this episode you have a better sense of how the mix of options, qualities, and sections create a highly detailed play by play result with multiple layers and possibilities.

In future episodes we will discuss how this plays out in other charts within the book.
