In this episode of RPG Heroes, we delve into our main topic: "Meaningful Choices in RPGs" with the help of the incredibly prolific writer/content creator Justin Alexander, the brains behind the Alexandrian Blog. We talk about railroading, plots, node-based design, player agency and of course who his RPG heroes are.
