TPT #114: Resource Management & The Pacemaker

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Hosts I-Hsien and Shane discuss ways for GMs to pace their adventures’ resource consumption, as well as ways for players to pace their characters’ resource spend. In the Dynasty Unwarranted campaign, the Rogue Traders chart a course for less tame voidspace, and the Pacemaker lights up your life in the Character Creation Forge. (63m)

Editor’s Note: In this episode, we joked that our location was the “Mundangerous disaster area,” a reference to our recording in Shane’s half-unpacked apartment. We realized in editing that this could be misconstrued as a joke about the devastation caused recently by Hurricanes like Harvey and Irma. It was not intended that way. Please support relief organizations such as The American Red Cross.
