Greg Stolze waltzes over to Relatable Rolls to talk to Max and Claire about Dueling Fops of Vindamere, a procedurally generated role playing game about fanciful dandies seeking to display their fencing abilities while proving themselves to their beloveds now on Kickstarter. As well as talking about trifling people, the trio also discuss RPGs not requiring a GM, collaborative gaming experiences, and getting what you sign up for when sitting at the table.
