#170 – Magic Systems in RPGs

We're taking a break from the interview series for another free form discussion episode. Today's topic is Magic, and its implementations across the RPG hobby. We start with the great progenitor that is Jack Vance, and follow the threads from there. Give us a listen, then stop by our Discord to share your thoughts in the episode thread! Drop us a line!
