Tangent #21: The Good Stuff
This week we try to pin down and capture what experiences and moments we're really after iwhen we play role playing games, some of examples of when they happened, and strategize how we might be able to facilitate these moments in the future. What is the good stuff? Dot's Thoughts Spot is about translating existing IPs into your games.

Tangent #20: Nat Twenty
This week, for our twentieth episode, we had a plan, and that plan went out the window. What results is perhaps one of our best episodes yet, where we talk to Dot about her experiences and growth as a gamer, which gets us philosophizing about con games, gaming in general and ending with a timeless discussion about rules, or lack thereof, in RPGs. It's a bumpy ride, but stick with us. We believe the journey is worth it. Also it's the premiere of "Dot's Thoughts Spot."
