TBM: Ep 1 EXTRAS

Ok, episode one. I had to record this one twice, once before I got green lit to join Ludology and once after I bought a podcasting mic. I tried to fake a pop filter for the first recording with panty hose. It did not work. I will not apologize for the audio quality of the published segments, but know that I know that it's not the best. 

So, the point I make in this episode conflicts me, because the structure of implicit and explicit theme doesn't quite map to the structure of core gameplay, baked-in theme, and opt-in theme that I describe in my book. Sigh. At some point I should reconcile the two systems. 

I think we can start accepting that certain terms exist without giving their origin story. I'm against giving the history of ludonarrative dissonance every time the term comes up. 

I have an unhealthy obsession with the theme of Love Letter and how it could be fixed. I would prefer a simple rule change, although a lore change would also work. 

King of Tokyo should theme the 1,2,3 on the dice to how many civilians you eat. Then the game is perfectly thematic.
