Should you cast Octatonic Incantation or use a Tremolo Torch? In this week’s sidetrack, Mark reminisces about his (misguided?) attempt at gamifying a music class many years ago. Yes, his college students were grinding for gold, casting spells, leveling up, and looting fallen monsters, all to help them improve their music skills. The question is, did it work? Mark goes through this musicianship game with Nichole, and lets her decide if he was right to leave this experiment in the past.

The rules to the game are here. The character sheets are here.
