Season 3, Episode 2: Memorable Moments; Creating Tension at the Table with Apotheosis

19 Hits the Dragon

Think back on the games you've played. What are some of the most memorable moments from them? I'm willing to bet it wasn't the I'm willing to bet it wasn't the slower sessions, the down time between adventures. No, usually the most memorable gaming moments are moments of high tension. When something important is on the line and there's a risk of losing it all.

Today I'm joined by Ian Tassin, the creator of Apotheosis, to talk about how to create those moments of tension at your games and to provide insight into how that drive to create tension factored into the mechanics he built for his game.
