Episode 117 – Evoking Specific Emotions in Tabletop RPGs

Do tabletop RPGs evoke specific emotions from their players? And is this due to setting, tone, mechanics, or all three? This week, we discuss the techniques RPGs employ to create ‘their’ experience for players. But wait! There are also video games in this podcast — Yakuza 0, Battle Chef Brigade, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and a family outing to The Game Preserve!
