MMPlays 014 – Player Engagement
You’ve heard about Vivian’s character. Now tell me what you think she brought with her to the camp grounds? A purple hair brush with a soul train sticker on it? Interesting. Lance, are you ok with that and if so, what do you think that tells us about your character Vivian.
