Special guest Laura joins us to talk about the challenge of finding the right balance of tone and story at the gaming table. We also hear about Laura’s experience helping to organize the U-Con convention, and about her recently-finished East Texas University campaign, in which her players dealt with supernatural threats, midterm exams, and mean girls over the course of four in-game years.

Episode notes:

• The U-Con Gaming Convention in Ann Arbor, Michigan, which Laura helps to organize.
• East Texas University, a roleplaying game about fighting monsters and dealing with annoying roommates in a university setting.
• The Untold Stories Project, a six-part livestream of Laura’s East Texas University game.
