“Leave Justin Bieber alone!”

In this rather rambling banter episode, we cover a bunch of ground, including where the infamous Comic Sans font came from, the “new sincerity”, and how we feel about exploits in console games.

If you’d prefer to skip everything else, actual RPG discussion only happens near the end, starting at about 32 minutes.  We cover player agency, mostly in the context of our Monsterhearts game. What happens when the MC takes control of a PC, even temporarily?  How can you make it interesting and not unfun for the player?
