Editor Note: I truncated most of the silences in this recording. This was a workshop, so there was time where nobody was talking.
Darker Days Radio is hosting this workshop about converting from one game mechanic system to another. We will talk about where to start when you work through a conversion, how big a role dice percentages play within your conversions, and work through converting from one well-established game system into a different one. Hosted by Crystal Mazur (she/her/mx), Mitch Bustillos of Necrobiotic, and Brennan Taylor of Galileo Games.

Mike and Chris talk about their interests this summer, as wills are tested by the deluge of Warhammer releases and the nostalgia for World of Darkness.
