Summary

In our second episode we dive right into some of the amazing and not-so-obvious aspects of the Savage Worlds core mechanic. We explore running entire game sessions with only basic skill rolls, and talk about each of our introductions to the system (spoilers: it didn't initially click for Tracy!). This is an episode that should open the minds of both Savage Worlds beginners and seasoned GMs alike. WARNING this one gets a little spicy right out of the gate, hence the explicit tag...
