Everything is Awesome Episode 151: Star Crossed w/ Alex Roberts

Everything is Awesome

As we start the trek towards our next 150 episodes, we sit down for a good ol' fashion long-form conversation with the designer of Star Crossed, Alex Roberts! We chat about old school radio and podcasting vs. the current podcasting methods and Alex gives me a brief history of Canada before we chat about her origin into podcasting and game design.

ABOUT STAR CROSSED

The excitement, tension, and heartbreak of romance! In Star Crossed, you'll craft characters who are powerfully attracted to each other but have a compelling reason not to act on their feelings. Some of the things you'll want your character to do are going to increase that attraction - and when that happens, you are going to pull a brick out from an increasingly shaky tower and place it on the top. If the tower falls, your characters act on their feelings! Will your love be doomed, triumphant, or something in-between? Find out at Star Crossed!
