Series 24.3 - Visigoths vs Mall Goths with Lucian Kahn [Designer] (Discussion)

This is the final episode of our Visigoths vs Mall Goths series, a game where you play time displaced Visigoths in a 90’s mall where, naturally, you are enemies with the mall goths that inhabit said mall. We welcome back special guest Lucian Kahn, designer of Visigoths vs Mall Goths and much more, to discuss this game with us!
