A Dirty World - Shades of Gray with Greg Stolze

As benefactors of the second season Kickstarter of Ludonarrative Dissidents, we got to sit in on another game, this time ran by Greg Stolze. Though we've done this scenario years ago, only Greg was in that game, and it was long enough he didn't remember the beats. If you'd like to compare and contrast, our original two part playthrough of Shades of Gray is available on the podcast or on our website as part one and part two.
