The show after the show! Each month Kevin & Gabe get together after playing a specific tabletop roleplaying game system or setting and discuss the experience. We answer what is great about the system and what is not. Did combat grind the game to a halt, again? Join the conversation by calling in to reflect on your own games. We will also be adding bonus episodes under the Analytic Dice Studio name in which Kevin interviews a creator in the tabletop roleplaying game community with such hard hitting questions as, "if you were a polyhedral die, which one would you be?"
