Episode 154 - Roll and Write

Trying something new here. This week we explore not, not two, but all of the roll and write games. That's right, we're taking on the whole roll and write genre. What types of decisions are found in these games, what does the genre do well, and maybe what is better left served by other core mechanisms? We hope you enjoy this episode, fellow decisionaughts!
