A Love Letter to Violence (w/ Daniel Kwan)

Elliot and Brian sit down with Daniel Kwan, designer of Wandering Blades to discuss the balance of OSR and storygame design sensibilities behind this new game, how he found inspiration in the beautiful violence of wuxia media, and what designers can learn by playing TCGs.

Talk of the Table is hosted by Elliot Davis and Brian Flaherty.
