Slumscast Ep. 27 | Two Fresh Scoops of Slums

In System Gateway, the Slumscast stumbled their way to the fabled Fountain of Scoops. This time around, we find ourselves in a much less hospitable climate: the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean itself. Thankfully, we're joined by NISEI designer/developer/narrative crafter Zoe "Gayschanel" Cohen, who guides us as we trawl the frigid water in search of new cards. Will we deliver the life-sustaining scoops to our families before the very large boat destroys them? Will Pants finally get to name a segment Akamatsu Mem Chip? Will we uncover the secrets of how narrative design influences game design, determine the worst Netrunner band, and discover the best possible musical in any timeline along the way? There's only one way to find out: tune in to the epic season finale of the Slumscast.

Note: this podcast does not have seasons. This is not a season finale.
