No show notes for the moment!  In the interests of putting out something super-current, Fred's skipping that part for now.  We're podcasting without a net, baby!

If you've ever wondered what's going on "under the Hat", here's your first peek.  Have a listen.

This worked pretty well. The idea of folks who've answered questions taking a coin that prevents them from answering further ones definitely helped to make sure everyone got a chance to contribute; but we exercised a liberal "embellishment policy" that gave room for some enthusiastic discussion of the answers that were offered.

Escape or Die! is currently in playtest and has a few hurdles to cross before publication, but you should be able to get a pretty good idea of how it plays from listening to this.  The idea is simple: you're in a highly lethal escape movie where the only options are, indeed, to escape or die.  The catch with the game is that it's run on the clock, putting a lot of pressure on players to narrate circumstances and push their characters forward quickly before their doom catches up with them.  In play, this makes the game almost a "real-time RPG", in that it lasts about as long as the movies it emulates.

Like a big dork, I turned off the recorder before I got a bunch of feedback from the folks who played -- but I got a chance later in the weekend (unrecorded) to put a few of their suggestions into practice to good effect.
