About this episode
The episode explores the unique game 'Something is Wrong Here' and its Lynchian influences.
Episode Notes In this episode, we study an aberration that is half roleplaying game, half card game, half improv routine, and half love letter to the late David Lynch (that math checks out according to our non-Euclidean algebra). Something is Wrong Here by Kira Magrann is an extremely interesting and unique system that we haven't seen anything like before or since. We discuss some of our experiences with the system and provide some ideas and suggestions to help future Facilitators make their own Lynchian waking nightmares.
