Summary: This episode doesn't have much by way of theological discussion in it. Instead it's almost entirely about the process of designing a setting—ways we do it, tips and tricks, etc.. By way of example, we analyze and discuss the settings we're each working on for various projects (including Peter's setting that he's designing for a game he's running for the STG crew.) We didn't mention it in this episode, but we do want to remind people about our holiday fundraiser for PEG Partners as well. As promised, here are the show notes for this episode. They're less lengthy than a lot of our other episodes; we spent a lot more time describing techniques and ideas this time around and a lot less time referencing everything under the sun.
