    Interesting listen.
    I have a question: At one point Luke makes mention of a game he designed in which PCs don’t get to go shopping; they start in the middle of the action. This does not appear to describe any of his games I’m familiar with. Do you know what game he was talking about?

    Brian,

    He was referring to Mouse Guard. The GM on his turn is supposed to throw an obstacle at the players right away. No prep time! No lollygagging!
