Steve Kenson discusses the new Blue Rose RPG and the Kickstarter

Green Ronin super-star Steve Kenson joins us today to talk about the new edition of the Blue Rose roleplaying game! We discuss what it means to have an "inclusive" setting, what kind of magic and characters you can create in the Blue Rose setting, and Steve drops a Sir Mix-a-Lot reference. Tune in for all the details! I apologize in advance for any audio issues on my side of the recording. I'm in the process of building out my new podcast recording set-up and it sounds like I need a new microphone. I'll try and have that remedied by next week's episode.
