Dirk, David, and Harrison tackle the mail bag after an exciting
announcement about Rob’s new company, Restoration Games.
Restoration’s goal is to reprint and modernize classic games that
are no longer available. Our hosts go on to talk about games that
are overproduced (as well as micro games), the concept of player
choice vs. direction, and where to get all the shiny bits needed
for prototyping. --------------------- Dirk Knemeyer - @DKnemeyer,
