Hello Bonus Babies,  Rai and Monica had a very chaotic two weeks and were unable to get a recording in. However, Margaret had this dusty tape under her desk and was kind enough to edit it for us. (We shudder to think about what else might be lurking under there... best not to consider it too long.) D joins Monica for another Deep Dive! We discuss the concept of a "core system" loop, aka what central concepts make a game's system tick. We go in-depth into the mechanics of a handful of our favorite games to demonstrate.  Enjoy!  [ Bonus Experience: the Blog! bxpcast.com | Bonus Experience: the Discord! tinyurl.com/bxpdiscord | Bonus Experience: the Twitter! @bonusexpcast | Bonus Experience: the Patreon! patreon.com/bonusexperience ]
