Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene Episode 83: Why Another Edition?

       In this episode Saul and Jolene discuss the question every gamer hears from their significant other, "Why Another Edition?"  You already have that roleplaying game. Its crazy that you have multiple RPGs of the same genre but another edition of the same game? That's Crazy!!!

      Now Saul and Jolene won't argue that it isn't crazy but there are reasons why a gamer would want yet "another edition" of a certain game.  They discuss Dungeons and Dragons to illustrate changes that are made to a RPG game that would want someone to buy the latest edition.  Important changes to game mechanics, art direction, diversity in subjects and other changes to the game.

    Shadowrun is another game they use as an example of why people would want to get the latest edition.  Shadowrun is not so much about rules changes, though their are a quite a few, for Saul the new edition was needed to incorporate changes in technology where real life had out paced what was imagined by the games creators in the 1980's.

     As always we would like to thank all our listeners and all we ask is that you share our podcast on your social media with family and friends.

   Music by Ed Napoli, song Another One.
