We’re wading back into the world of tabletop gaming this week as we talk to game designer Alex Roberts about her new game, Star Crossed! We talk about mechanics versus story, how that might be a false binary, LARPing, which comics characters might make the best star-crossed lovers, building relationships in games, how horror and romance are similar, and so much more! Plus, Matt and Chris take a space adventuring listener question!
