Episode 290: Interesting Mechanics in RPGs, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

          Some RPGs try to mimic things in the real world, things from movies books,  and even things that the author remembers.  These things are then added to their RPG as an in game mechanic that really sets that RPG apart from other games.  Saul and Jolene discuss their favorite game mechanics that really make the RPG stand out.
           Saul and Jolene discuss Traveller, The One Ring, Tales From the Loop and others in this discussion that was started due to a Reddit post.  Saul really likes the ones listed where Jolene is a little more discerning in the mechanics and how much they contribute to the RPG experience. 
    EDIT note.  While discussing The One Ring,  Saul refers to Shadow and Heart mechanic, but the two stats are Shadow and Hope.   Which makes even more sense in terms.  
    Thank you all for Listening
