10th Anniversary Special Part 2
We continue looking back at the last decade through the lens of Imaginary Worlds. This week, we roll the dice and click start on the games that defined a decade. And we explore why indie games thrive more in tabletop culture than video games.

Show Notes
In the second part of our retrospective on how Imaginary Worlds has covered sci-fi and fantasy since September 2014, we look at the world of gaming. I visit the game shop Sip & Play and talk with the owner Jonathan Li. Game designer and cultural consultant James Mendez Hodes returns to discuss the affect Stranger Things and Critical Role have had on the popularity of D&D, and why the last decade has been a golden age of indie tabletop games. Illinois Tech professors Carly Kocurek and Jennifer deWinter discuss the breakout video games in the last 10 years, and why it’s harder for indie video games to have the same success as indie board games.
