Box season is over, so now we must rank the games. Which boxes are best? Which are worst? (They're actually all pretty good.) Plus we announce next season's theme: no game only PDF. ⁠⁠Max Lander⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://maxwellander.itch.io/] and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aaron King⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://erinking.itch.io/] dig through RPGs of yore to bring you valuable nuggets of mechanics, lore, and strangeness. They read the fucking manual so that you don't have to. If you want to chat about the episode, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠join our Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://bytes.rip/rtfm].

Prepare to enter The Zone by Raph D'Amico [https://thezonerpg.com/]. We compare the gamefeel of cards versus tables. We talk mutations. And we talk shit about the Southern Reach Trilogy. We're talking the ⁠Possible Worlds series by Tyler Crumrine⁠ [https://itch.io/c/1583959/possible-worlds-series], six discreet games boxed together.
