Episodic games.

Do you think episiodic games would work in the GM scene?

Because I've had this idea lately that maybe it could be a good approach to game design.

I mean, it can work in the videogame industry right?

Half-Life, and Sam and Max (telltale) are examples of commercial games that …

Yes folks its the time of year when…

PEOPLE GET DEPRESSED!!!

I personally think this is due to a combination of many things, like weather change, environmental change, and social change, (i.e settling in back at school)
