Welcome to the final episode of series 77, everyone! In this series, we sat down with Mike Macagnone, writer on the game we are covering this series, Crucible of Aether by Living Metal Games, a mystic-industrial TTRPG where you hone your skills, explore the world and forge a life in the tumultuous Odayan Empire! This episode, we finish our discussion with a great look at the necessity of the feedback process when testing out a new game before knocking it out of the park with some remarkable fanfic.
