We’re doing something a bit different this week! Join Aaron, Gerry, and Mike as they bust out the microscopes and break down the genetic code of what makes an RPG (or role-playing game) what it is. We’ll discuss what characteristics, traits, and mechanics define an RPG or make-up the DNA of an RPG.
