In this episode we wrap up the discussion of our Grey Ranks game. The recap runs a little longer than usual for this episode. Those of you who are not interested in this part of the show may want to skip ahead to 9 minutes 26 seconds into the episode. After the recap, we revisit the topic of playing in a historical setting, this time with the consideration that people who participated in the events are still living. Next we talk about the role mission and personal scenes play in telling your character's story. Lastly, we ask Laura about being the only girl playing in a game with strong themes of love and romance.
