Welcome to the final episode of our Pasión de las Pasiones series, everyone! In this series we have the game's designer, Brandon Leon-Gambetta (he/him) joining us with his good friend, and Magpie Games GM Elsbeth Denman (she/her) to look at this phenomenal Powered by the Apocalypse game about playing out your very own Telenovela. In this episode, we talk about how the character creation process went, get into some dramatic fanfic, and give Brandon some well-deserved praise!
