In this episode<\/a>, Robert Bohl (designer of Misspent Youth<\/a><\/i>) and Joshua A. C. Newman (designer of shock: social science fiction<\/a><\/i>) try out a new way of designing and recording. The show will be going biweekly and Joshua & Rob are going to start doing some design before recording, then discuss it. A great deal of headway is made making up the starting characters and mapping out some of their relationships.<\/p>\n
