We all know that feeling. You're running a game, and it's just not matching up with the time you want it to take. But how do you fix that? That's why we're having a conversation with Justin Ecock, from the Terrible Warriors podcast. He's had lots of experience making games fit into the amount of time slotted, both for his podcast, as well as conventions, and even doing events at restaurants! Se we have a talk around different tricks and tips he's learned over the years to help make his games come in "on time"!
