Happy New Year! My apologies for the delay on this episode. For our third Parleys at the Platter special, I invited Dr. Paul Gestwicki, Alyssa Visscher, Benjamin Huffman, and Mark Thompson back onto the podcast to discuss something in the zeitgeist with the new 2024 Rules being published: the nature of game design, the idea of play, and how it all relates to D&D. So join this globe-spanning panel (USA, Canada, and the UK) as we discuss everything from the 3rd party developers and homebrew content, to OSR & 4th Edition, and our (at the time) speculations and hopes for the 2024 rules.
