S0E28 - Fixing Broken Politics - Social Media - Extra Politics
Welcome to the return of Extra Politics! We'll be examining different problems in our political systems for the next 4 weeks, right up until the election. We're using the lens of game design to understand how our political systems are constructed, how certain mechanics interact, and what patch notes might be helpful for the future. First up: social media. We all know that misinformation is rampant online but how does that impact our democracy? What can we do to try and fix bot farms? Is there any way to start valuing more valid sources of information over things that get clicks like fear and outrage?

S0E29 - Fixing Broken Politics - Never Going To Jail - Extra Politics
Most systems that give unilateral control to a single person tend to include some pretty steep penalties if that person abuses their power. So what if the president misbehaves? What are the systems in place to try and prevent presidential corruption? The answer is... they are few and far between. With Unitary Executive Theory, there is very little incentive for the president NOT to abuse power. After all, most of the committees responsible for oversight work for the president and can be dismissed for any reason, creating a large conflict of interest. Then there's the presidential pardon which greatly incentivizes loyalty to the president. So we have some more patch notes.

S0E30 - Fixing Broken Politics - No Right to Vote - Extra Politics
When we talk about voting rights and voter suppression, what are the actual legal guarantees for voting? There has to be something in the constitution that makes sure every American has a right to vote. Isn't there? ... There isn't??? This seems like a huge design oversight. What can we do to patch it?

S0E33 - Extra Plays D&D - Caverns & Cultists - One Shot - September Charity Reward
The Extra Credits gang plays Dungeons and Dragons! We promised a D&D stream as an incentive during an April charity stream and here are the results. The gang played through an original one-shot written by community manager Arthur G, featuring acid caves, feeble fungus, and dead gods. The game was run using Fantasy Grounds for maps and play; and D&D Beyond for character sheets and to let people keep track during the stream. Both groups were extremely kind and generous so show 'em some love!
