We're here taking a break from the One Shot Derby to do a commercial sponsored by Lucky Strikes

and also the creator of Brindlewood Bay, Jason Cordova.

How do you feel like the war effort's going, Jason?

You know, we are barely keeping it together.

The Western Front is currently on fire, but us here in the central, the central part of the battle zone are doing our best.

Luckily, we can send the United States greatest resource, older women, to fix over problems.

Exactly. Precisely. Yeah.

Listen, this is putting a little bit of my hand on the scale of how much I am enjoying

reading over.

I haven't recorded the Brindlewood Bay episode yet because I wanted to come in fresh when we're

doing it, but this is going to be out of order.

But this is me putting a little bit of my hand on the scale from how much I'm falling in

love with Brindlewood Bay.

Oh, good.

Yeah. So I told you a little bit about the one-shot derby,

but I'm actually really excited about the fact that you've laid out the first episode

in the TV sense, but also like your first game session, as being so character-driven.

What is important to you as a character designer to have the formalized

character creation session laid out that you're going to do all of this stuff before you even

get into your first mystery?

I, well, so my thing when it comes to role-playing games is I think I really want players to get to start playing as quickly as

possible, right?
