Show us how you set up family dynamics in your game! Phil and Senda talk family dynamics and specific safety conversations you might want to have when setting up PCs who are all related. Also: you may note in this episode that we keep talking about how we are supposed to be off. We actually recorded this for release last week, when we had announced we would be off, but due to the mental health circumstances of the editor (hi, that's me) it didn't get released...so we ended up missing the week we said we'd miss anyway. We are back, and while the holidays coming up mean that there will be some more weeks off coming up, we'll do our best to keep you in tasty Panda listening for the winter gifting season!
