11: Blades in the Dark

Sam brings on two of his favorite cyborg robots, Misha and Walid, to discuss an influential book to them and much of the TTRPG scene: John Harper's Blades in the Dark. Listen to the guys break down their experience Forging in the Dark, what this book provides, what its missing, and a brief stint into what really constitutes "fiction first" gameplay.
