Episode Six: Plot Hooks and Misdirection
This episode is all about using plot hooks in play, as well as combining them with misdirection. We discuss what not to do as well as talking about some of our techniques for creating and maintaining plot hooks.
If you think we should add anything, or want us to clarify something shoot us an email, post it on the Forums, Facebook, or Twitter.

While I will accept that you did not mention Shard in the episode you did mention it in the episode write up….so technically you did mention Shard. Just sayin’. Love the pod cast, keep it coming and always take it to 11!

I had two people looking at this, and neither of us could find it. You might want to say “Download” or something.
