This is the final episode of Season Five. Terry joins Monica again with the second half of their very long conversation about experiences with gaming and new people.
Today we talk about character development in RPGs: what that means, what people want when they say they’re into it, and how games do and don’t support character growth over time. It’s a very interesting discussion and a perfect send-off for our fifth season.
