What do you do when the players make a choice that jumps ahead of what you were planning on and either skips everything you had prepared or moves towards the end of a story by passing many other story beats along the way. We call this Story Jumping and we're discussing it on todays Misdirected Mark Podcast.
RPG Artifacts and Mementos - Physical items left over long after the game is done. Along with this discussion we’ve got reviews of Sanctum and the Exotica Expansion for Eminent Domain.
