BGB Podcast #314 – Bringing Out the Best in People
It’s about people, right? Below all the mechanics, after all the rules explanations, beyond every crushing loss and glorious win, what really matters is people we’re playing with. Some games make that more apparent than others, and we’re here to celebrate that. Before we realize it’s about the friends we made along the way, we talk about Arcs, and Luthier.
