Rule Of Carnage

Rule of Carnage is a game design podcast, available on Youtube and as a podcast feed, in which tabletop designers Mike Hutchinson (Gaslands, A Billion Suns, Hobgoblin) and Glenn Ford (Man O’ Kent Games) explore Designing Better Miniatures Games.

In Episode 139 part 1, the guys have been at Salute, and so not really in a position to record a conversation, Glenn has run around the convention filming everything. Its a bit of a quick video, and I'd skip it if you get motion sickness, but it shows off what was there. Enjoy.
