Asians Represent!

Live from the busy halls of PAX U, Agatha interviewed Caleb of KMS Games to learn more about their efforts to bring jubensha to a global audience. KMS Games is an original English jubensha murder mystery social deduction game creator which started in 2021, based on the jubensha craze in East Asia. Designed in Singapore, their games involve players roleplaying as murder suspects and working together to analyze evidence and deduce the murderer hidden amongst them.

Daniel & Drew Tried the Gundam Card Game! | No Dice, No Problem #28

While it is widely accepted that gacha games have predatory monetization, what isn't discussed as often is how the mechanics that surround them actively make gaming experiences worse.
