* (5:28) Custom fangs have become too cheap for Wayne’s taste.
* (7:09) The loss of a dropship in our Battletech game serves as the catalyst for a discussion on defeat in a roleplaying game. We talk about its capacity for adding drama, realism, and emotion to the game, while conversely being able to discourage or drain the players.

* (26:20) Getting a brand new player up to speed on the hobby of roleplaying, their first setting, and a system — without overwhelming them in the process.
