Weird Games and Weirder People

Joseph Goodman runs Goodman Games. He has written a number of RPG titles, including DCC RPG, DragonMech, and many dungeon crawl adventures. His best work, though, is mentoring the amazing group of creators who have come to publish their work through Goodman Games.

Joseph is also well known within the DCC RPG community as the Dark Lord, but in a very dear way. I had the pleasure to work with Goodman Games a few times, but I've always been an admirer of not only their work with games, but especially in the way they ciultivate creativity and community.

In this chat we talk about many great topics, including game design, doing business as a game, creativity, nature as inspiration, the famous Appendix N, and parenthood.

This was a fantastic chat, Joseph is always very generous with his wisdom so I recommend you listen to this one closely!

So, listen up, and get weird with us!

Brian Colin has been working in the industry since his first exhibit in Gen Con's art show 2017. He is a sculptor, graphic designer, and product developer who is best known for Vast Grimm. Founder of Creature Creation, he is also the creator of many other weird things!

I remember the first time I saw Vast Grimes maw cover! What a cover. And Vast Grimm visuals continues to be super rad! Brian's writing, art and design mix up so well in this series, as he continues to create more and more adventures and supplements for this weirs heavy metal sci-fi RPG built on the chassis of Mörk Borg!

We chat about many cool things, such as his journey from comics to RPG creator. How the lesson he learned on the way helped shape his work. We talk about art, creativity, influences, mental health, and about the WEIRD! I loved it!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Tim Hutchings is an award-winning artist and game designer best known for his game Thousand Year Old Vampire. He is also the creator of A Collection of Improving Exercises, Our Vacation, and many other games that explore the frontier of RPGs, games, and art. He's a soon-to-be-former university professor and closing up his art studio to focus on making games full time.

I love games that do things in very unique ways that tie well with their themes. That explore spaces that haven't been explored or that look at old things a very different angle. Tim's games do all of that! Combining that with his academic background and knowledge, I knew there could be a lot we could learn from him in this episode.

And that's what set out to do here, to explore a little bit of how Tim's process work, what inspires his work, what kind of weird things he is into and that kind of thins we love here.

This was a tremendous episode. Tim shared a lot of wisdom, and made quite a few great jokes! Enjoy it!

Lin Codega is an entertainment journalist who co-founded Rascal--a worker-owned, alternative tabletop roleplaying game news outlet. They previously wrote for io9, Polygon, and MIT's Immerse magazine. They also make games, and a lot of other weirdly wonderful things we talk about in this episode!

The first time I met Linda as at Gen Con, and my friend Richard said I should meet them, talked about het work a bit and them I went to talk to Lin. She made a bunch of interesting questions and I answered them, but my autistic brain got the best of me and I didn't ask anything back!

Well, on this episode I try to rectify that talk to Lin about a lot of interesting topics, ranging from punk culture, the important of community, how our unfinished projects are not failures, but lessons we learned along the way, and a lot more!

This is a short episode, and I do pride myself of longer and deeper episodes, but Linda managed to pack a lot in this short interview and I am sure you will love it as much as I did.

JP Coovert writes and illustrates whimsical TTRPG zines every month. He also makes videos that teach and encourage creators to make cool stuff for their tabletop roleplaying games. He creates complete games, one-shot adventures (some that can be strung for an campaign, others thematically to each game), toolkits, guides, and so many other wonderful things.

I honestly think JP's Patreon is one of the best bangs for your buck in the entire industry. He mixtures creative writing, good game design, whimsical ideas, wonderful illustrations, in a portable and affordable format. What do you want more? And it's all pretty much system neutral and easy to adapt to your favorite game. And if not, he has a bunch of his own games you can play with ease.

I loved hanging out with him again (we hung out at Gen Con 2023). We talked about his work, his constant output of great stuff, his hobbies besides RPGs, making art, comics, writing, and so much more.

It was a truly inspiring chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up, and get weird with us!

Craig Hatler (he/him), @tezrak on most socials, bis the IT Help Desk Manager for a small historically black university in Raleigh, NC, USA. He has been playing #TTRPGs for over 30 years & have been developing/designing for over half that time. He has created a modular system and setting, both released as Creative Commons, allowing others to create with his work collaboratively.

I confess I didn't know much about Craig's work before the interview, and he helped me out when a guest had to cancel. He was on my list of future guest but the opportunity presented itself and here we were. And it was great.

Craig is a knowledgeable guy. He played and sutdied a lot of games, and seems have what I like to call "designer eyes", that ability to take things apart and figure out how they work and how they can be used for other stuff.

We talked about game design, inspirations, our strugglers, pixel art, other games. It was a really fun, insightful and educational episode! I hope you an learn something new with this one.

Adrián Mejia was born and raised in Quito, the city that he loves and hates. He wants to see more latines in Fantasy, both as characters and players, and tell stories he doesn't see elsewhere. He is the lead director of the Koboa project, a South American Fantasy setting for D&D, Pathfinder and other fantasy ganes, and is hoping to get a few more projects underway as he keeps experimenting with game designs he finds interesting.

The first time I saw the vibrant colors and unique characters of the Koboa ads I was immediately interested and started to follow Adrían. As a fellow RPGLATAM creator, I was excited to have Adrían on the show to talk about his project, his journey, his inspirations, and that's what we did.

We also talked a lot about being Latin Americans making games in the international market, we talked about RPGLATAM, about colonization, about social justice, and many other things that is almost impossible not to talk about when we talk about LATAM.

It was a delightful chat, full of great ideas, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.

Listen up and get weird with us!

Jordan Dube is the owner & operator of Goosepoop Games! He is greatly involved with the community: running game meetups and conventions as executive director of his local game group in Portland, ME, performing clarinet in a swing band, writing video game review articles, and climbing rocks at the rock gym. Formerly a UX designer, programmer, sound engineer, and Army clarinetist, Jordan uses his diverse knowledge to create accessible and approachable games for players of all types. Connection and supporting others is Jordan’s passion and he uses Goosepoop Games to pursue these values.

I am always interested in people working on making the community better, more welcoming, more accessible, and who would imagine they are also seeking new ways to make games, and dabbling with themes like philosophy, meditation, mindfulness. So Jordan work was super interesting to me instantly!

In this episode we talked a lot about exact those interests, we exchanged a lot insights, jokes, and very deep personal things. It was amazing, it was fun, and very educational! I hope you love it too!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Harley Stroh, legendary RPG writer, Skate Punker, and an incredible Judge (or GM for the non-DCCers out there)! Author of moderns classics like Sailors of the Starless Sea, Doom of Savage Kings, Blades Against Death, Journey to the Center of Aereth, Tower of the Black Pearl, Peril on the Purple Planet, and more recently, the impressive The Music of the Spheres is Chaos, a massive boxed-set adventure with a spinning dungeon map! His work in the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG line is super inspiring, and his adventures are some of my favorites of all time!

I've been a fan of Harley since I bought my first printing of the limited edition gold skull DCC RPG that came with Doom of Savage Kings, a very pulpy, and open-ended adventure that set very high standards for what I would expect of adventure for now on. I played this adventure so many times, and continue to do so, and I am always impressed how different every time can be.

Anyway, in this chat we talked about many things, from how sneakily weird Harley actually is, how he tries to write amazing adventures just to keep up with the fantastical art created by Doug Kovacs, how he runs his finger over his keyboard while writing, and so many other weird and wonderful things.

I loved to have this chance to talk to him for almost 2 hours, it was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Listen up, and get weird with us!

Luke Stratton, or Limithron as he is known throughout the seven seas of the internet, is an artist, game designer, producer, and so many other things. He is the creator of Pirate Borg, as well as Limithron's Guide to Naval Combat for 5th Edition D&D! He was with me on both Game On Expo and Gary Con, so we get to talk a little bit about those.

Luke and I had the chance to bond over the course of 2 weeks, as we both attended Game on Expo as Guest/Panalists, and went to Gary Con afterwards to relax among like minded gamers! I am very glad I spent that time with him and I am glad we could talk about that and many other things on the show.

We delved into his creative process, his effort to keep the passion for pirate stuff alive, the influences he had while working on Pirate Borg, other artists that inspire his way to work, and many other weird and wonderful things.

Denis McCarthy has been illustrating and making stock art for indie games since 2016. He has work on multiple tiles in the Indie and OSR community, having a style characterized by an attention to history and architecture. He also sells a lot of stock art, which features in innumerable products, including my own!

I've met Denis in a trip I made to Gen Con one of those years ago while I spent some days in NYC before the convention. We talked about art, games, design, life, and everything else. I had the chance to do this another time since them, and well, in this episode as well.

Denis is not only an artist but also a scholar. He studies a lot and know what he is talking about, as you will hear in the episode. We talk about many of our favorite influences, Denis praised GURPS, he shares some meditation techniques. It was great. Very insightful guest!

So listen up, and let's get weird with Denis McCarthy!

Check out Denis' work!

Zac has written for dozens of publications, including entries in D&D 5e, Mork Borg, Mothership, OSE, Vast Grimm, his upcoming work on Primal Quest, Zweihander, and the Hannibal RPG, and more. In another realm, he is the President of Tabletop Fanatics, one of the Directors at World of Game Design, and a co-host of the Geeks’ Cant podcast.

Zac is one of those person you wonder "how do they make it all?", and now I am having a chance to pick his brain on this chat, and work with him on a Primal Quest adventure! It's amazing.

This was a wonderful and weird chat. Zac does not think he is weird, but he is definitely one of us, and I am glad he is. He shares a lot on this episode, and hopefully you will learn as much as I did.

So listen up, and let's get weird with Zac Goins!

Michael is the mind behind Luck of Legends, where he teaches writing using games like Stories RPG - which is also his creation, a play-to-learn literacy game and podcast. He coaches teachers, runs after-school programs, writes curriculum, and zealously preaches the gospel of re-designing learning in and out of the classroom.

We have been following each other's work on twitter for a couple of years or so, and I've always been interested in gaming for kids (I think it relates to me really hoping my kid gets into tabletop gaming), and having wanted to work as an educator as well, and seeing the potential RPGs in special have to teach us, I saw Michael as a must have guest for our weird show!

And just like the rest of us, he is a weirdo and we talk for quite a while about gaming, learning, creativity, community, the celebration of being weird and so much more. It was a wonderful chat! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

So listen up, and get weird with us!

THE AWARDS 2024

As the original creator of the Mystic Punks, Anthony Meloro has been writing TTRPG zines and materials since 2016. Never satisfied to stay within one genre, Meloro continuously taps into his effervescent knowledge of trash comics, video games, punk rock and, DIY culture to create his work. An educator, a father, a game designer, a MYSTIC PUNK!

In this chat we had the opportunity to talk about art, creativity, education, fatherhood, game design, being outsiders, and so much more!

We also really got into talking about the great game that is Mystic Punks. We talked about the history behind the original zines, how it evolved, who are all the amazing creator working with him to make the game even greater, and a lot more! BTW, MYSTIC PUNKS in funding right now! Back it to save the universe!

This is a great episode! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it!

So let's get weird with Anthony Meloro!

Irvin Morales is a Game designer, content creator at Role Per Second YouTube channel, and CO-CEO of KoboldCon, a convention in Mexico that promotes the indie TTRPG movement in LATAM.

I am very happy to receive my friend and fellow RPGLATAM creator Irvin for a great chat about his journey in the TTRPG world, beginning as a player, becoming a GM, event organizer, store owner and then game designer.

We also talked about the unique realities of the hobby in Latin America, especially Mexico and Brazil, going even into how the organized crime can have an impact on gaming. If you want to know a little bit more about our unique and weird worlds, check this one out.

It was an incredible chat. We had a lot of fun!

T

Rafael Balbi is a Artist, Graphic Designer, Game Designer and Podcaster from Brazil who digs into game design theory in TTRPGs, dynamics of play and gaming systems. Creator of the Oil Fantasy playstyle and lead of a popular hexcrawling westmarches campaign called Biergotten, using a d&d b/x retroclone.

Me and Rafael are long time friends, we had a blog together for a while, we wrote an Adventure for DCC RPG Brazilian edition, and we just love hanging out and talking about games.

In this episode we talked a lot about Game Design theory, we disagree a little, and agree a lot too. We also talked about how is the TTRPG community down here in Brazil, we mentioned some of our problems, some of our good stuff. We also discussed some of his projects, like the incredible podcast and his deeply researched and playtested Hexcrawl focused RPG.

It was a weirdly wonderful chat, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up and get weird with us!

The Media is the Message

Billy Blue is a RPG artist and game designer. His clients include, Gallant Knight Games, Philip Reed, Gaming Ballistic, and Yog Du games. He also recently released his own RPG called TLD RPG, a rules lite Dark Fantasy RPG in which he works on integrating his art and writing into a single thing.

And we talked a lot about exactly that on the podcast. How to integrate Art and Game Design. We talked about the bless/curse of writing, illustrating, doing layout and everything in a book. We mentioned a lot of other creators whose work and creativity inspires us.

Honestly, we talked a lot about art, creativity, process, etc. It's an episode in which these themes come up a lot and I think that's really great. It can be very inspiring and useful to other creators.

We had a great time and I hope you do too!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Lex Mandrake is an rpg content creator who writes games and supplements, produces videos, and composes music under the moniker Dank Dungeons.
Some of his larger projects include AZAG, the weird sword and sorcery rpg and 5B, the 5th Edition compatible OSR style rpg.
Recently, he's been working with dungeon-tuber Jorphdan to create videos highlighting indie rpgs on the Jorphdan's Jocular Junction YouTube channel.

I had the honor to work with Lex in AZAG, and had a great time hanging out with him at Gen Con 2023. But besides that, we have been talking and getting to know each other for a while, and this conversation is basically just friends hanging out.

In this chat we talk about his work as a Game Designer, Musician, DungeonTuber, old music equipment, B Movies, Dreams, Soundscapes, Comedy in RPGs, Terror Vision, Ghostbusters RPG, Invisible Sun, influences and a lot more weird and wonderful things!

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up and get weird with us!

Matthew Morris, aka ManaRampMatt has been playing roleplaying games for nearly a decade and has been creating and publishing games and supplements since 2020. He is obsessed with Mausritter and any other Into the Odd based game. Outside of the gaming world he is a husband to an amazing wife, father to two little and cute kiddos, and pastors a rural church community. Matthew loves history, theology, fantasy, adventure, and lots of weird little things in those realms.

Matthew's work and enthusiasm for the hobby are contagious! I had the honor to collaborate with him in a few occasions and I can't wait to do it again. His most recent work has just been kickstarted and is called Tomb of a Thousand Doors brings a community built mega dungeon to the acclaimed Mausritter RPG! Oh, and he just launched a Patreon with Hush Lashbrooke to release more Mausritter content regularly (check it out: https://www.patreon.com/TinyTails)

On this wonderful chat we talked about coffee and his relationship with it and creativity. We talked about how he is a man of christian faith and how that affects his life and the life of other around him. How he seeks to be a beacon of light and positivity, and how that is important in a world that is constantly blasting us with negative information 24/7.

We talked a lot about gaming, RPGs, influences, artists, and all that wonderful weirdness we love!

So listen up and get weird with us!

David Blandy is an artist who makes rules light, flavour heavy games. David formed the Copy/Paste Co-Op with friend and illustrator Daniel Locke last year to make weird games for weird people in a weird (profit sharing) way. Some of his work includes Eco Mofos, Lost Eons, Babel and much more!

I'v been talking to David over Twitter for a while now and I am always impressed by the depth and width in his work. In this chat I had the opportunity to talk to him a little bit more about it, and about how he, as an artist, explores not only the medium of TTRPG, but music and other mediums to express himself and experiment.

This is one of those episodes you can hear we are just having a great time chatting exploring the weird. We talked influences, we talked favorite creators, he studied Kung Fu in a real freaking temples, folks! This is wonderfully weird!

We had a great time chatting, we go deep, we get weird!

So get weird with us! :)

Daniel Sell is the founder of Melsonian Art Council, a publisher of the finest TTRPG books, creator of Troika! The Science Fantasy RPG, and someone who is always lifting other creators up.

I've been following Daniel's work for a long while, since the days of Google + or something. I religiously bought all the Undercroft zines he released and fell in love with Troika! the movement it was released. Since then, Melsonian has not disappointed and has put out some of the most creative adventures and setting of the Indie RPG scene, and continues to do so.

In this chat, me and Daniel talk about his journey as a creator and publisher, how he is always learning new things, the development of Troika!, what he has in stores for the future, how he would love to have supernatural experiences and even join a cult!

It was a great and fun chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up and get weird with us!

Luke Gearing is the renowned writer and game designer behind some of the best weird fantasy adventures made in the last years! He has been making TTRPG stuff for a long while and is tackling bigger and more challenging projects lately. His works include Fever Swamp, The Big Squirm, The Isle, many others, and now Sawyers, a urban fantasy heist game that promises a unique way to play!

BACK SWYVERS NOW: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/melsonia/swyvers

To be honest, I am a fanboy of Luke. His adventures have a very unique weirdness to it, a creativity that's hard to match, and a way to play that is just fun for both the Referee, who is has no idea what's is going to happen, and for the players, who have many options to follow, but always with a good guidance and motivations to play the adventure to its fullest. Wow!

In this chat we talked about the many years he has been working with TTRPG, honing his skill. We talked about how he has some issues with the "game designer" term and prefers to just be a "writer", how he is usually not that interested in new systems and mechanics. We talked about his many influences, both in terms of works that shaped the way he creates, and artists who shaped the way he approaches his process.

It's a great chat, we go deep, it gets personal, and it's wonderfully weird!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Jim Miller is the founder of Crit Hit AZ, a convention focused on tabletop gaming in Arizona, and is now Co-Director of Tabletop Games of Game on Expo, happening on March 15th to 17th in Phoenix. He is also a game designer and community builder, and, like all weirdos, a lot more than all of that.

I got to know Jim a long time ago, back when I was publishing my first games. Jim was super supportive of my work and the first photos of people playing my games on conventions are probably from Crit Hit AZ. Gratitude, Jim! <3

On this chat we talked about Jim's work as a community builder, how he is focusing on bringing tabletop games, and especially TTRPG to communities that might not have access to them most of the time.

We also talked about his work with Game Design, parenthood, the lessons he learned in life, mental health, ADHD, Anafantasia, and a lot more.

It was a very interesting and insightful chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we dit!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Megan Goins and Terry Azamber and new game designers with their first project being funded on this year's Zinequest. The project is called Terra Arcis, a captivating single-player journaling RPG game in which the players are invited to go on a harrowing trip into the beautiful and deadly kingdom of fairies.

I got in touch with Megan and Terry through Zac Goins, and he told me how they got into Solo Journaling game by playing my "Lost in the Deep" journaling game about being the last survivor in an expedition to reclaim the lost home of the dwarves, and being new creators in the scene, launching a Kickstarter in the middle of Zinequest, a super busy month, all of that, would be really interesting to explore in the podcast. Well, not mention the theme of their game, Terra Arcis, which is super weird and explored in a unique way in this game.

By the way, if you are into weird and the supernatural you are gonna enjoy this one!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Brandish Gilhelm / Henkerin Ferinale, also known as Runehammer, is the game designer, artist, and content creator behind, well, RUNEHAMMER. A powerhouse of TTRPG design and guidance, he is the creator behind Index Card RPG, Viking Death Squad and more recently Skull & Crown!

Brandish also has an amazing YouTube channel where he not only talks about the amazing work that he does, but about TTRPG in general, and how to CREATE THINGS! Brandish is constantly sharing his wisdom and knowledge of games and game design, and we talk a little bit about this too in this chat.

But not only that, we talked about his journey as a creator, his life and story of overcoming a difficult bump in the road, how he almost died and how that changed him forever. We also touched on the various weirdly wonderful topics we normally talk about on the show, but what really makes this one special is the wisdom Brandish shares. So pay attention to that.

So listen up and get weird with us!

Richard Ruane (he/him) is the creator of the award-winning game Moonlight on Roseville Beach. He was nominated for the IGDN Groundbreaker Award for Best Setting for Barrow Keep: Den of Spies in 2021 and Dark Designs in Verdigris in 2020. He's previously contributed to Codex, Eat Trash Be Free, and Sunken.

I am so glad to have Richard over. We met a few years ago when I traveled to the US and we tried to organize an TTRPG meet up in NYC, and basically only a few people showed up. Since then we'v been in touch and we've been talking and watching each other grow from apart. My wife has actually also worked with him, as she translated Barrow Keep to Portuguese.

On this chat we talk a little bit about his journey in the TTRPG space, his fascination for the horror genre, the works and artists that inspired him and that continues to do so, and so much more.

I learned quite a few things on this episode and I really want to try Writing Sprints soon!

Raul Volpato a illustrator and pixel artist working on tabletop RPGs and digital games, and developing his own game, City Noire.

I've been fascinated by Raul's art from the moment I saw it on Twitter. I grew up on those old RPG on Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo, and seeing this style of art being used on RPG was something quite new and refreshing for me. It sparked my creativity and until this day I have notes for future projects where I can work on with this style of art to maybe work with Raul again (we collaborated on my Car Combat Business-Card Game Car[D] Battle).

On this chat I get to talk to Raul about may wonderfully weird things regarding TTRPG, games, art, illustration, influences, and we even talk deeply about our thoughts on generative AI.

We had a wonderful time, we go deep and we get weird! So come get weird with us! Check out Raul's Links! https://twitter.com/raul_volp

Paolo Greco is a writer, game designer, artist, book binder, editor, publisher and many other things! They created the Adventure Fantasy Game, Chthonic Codex, Mageblade, Wulfwald, Beyond the Pale and much more. They also created Lost Pages, the publisher who first published both Into the Odd (by Chris McDowell) and Maze Rats (by Ben Milton).

I've been a fan of Paolo's work and presence in the RPG space since the good old days of Google +, and miss seeing them around, so this chat was special for me. Paolo's work both as a game designer and publisher helped shaped the way I game and how I make games too. The line of spell books which started with Wonders & Wickedness is probably one of the best books/zine dealing with magic for fantasy games I've ever seen. I love them.

In this chat me and Paolo talked about mental health, how that affect our creativity, art and hobbies that we practice or are interested in, works and artists that have influenced us, weird games we played, and many more weird things.

It was a great chat, it get personal, it gets weird! The way we like it here! ;)

Matt Finch is one of the fundamental figures of the OSR style of TTRPG, his works include OSRIC, Swords & Wizardry, the magnificent Tome of Adventure Design, and the super influential Quick Primer for Old School Gaming (among many other things). He is also the founder of Mythmere Games and is constantly making more and more excellent gaming material!

It's hard for me to put into words what Mark's work means to me. I don't know if my work would ever be the same without his. The Quick Primer for Old School Gaming, even though meant to help you play games inspired by the first editions of D&D, the document defined a style of play that is not really system dependent, and thus serves as a Game Design framework to design Old-School style games, without necessarily having to use old D&D-like systems. Well, at least that's how I've been using it!

But that is just one of the many incredible things he made and that I adore, and in this chat we got to talk a little bit about all of them. We chatted about what the OSR is for us, why we like it so much, how it is based on open-ended situations and improvisation, future projects, greek mythology, adventure design, and so many other things.

It was a great chat and even though we talked about so many weirdly wonderful things in a little over 1 hour and a half, when we were finished I felt I could have asked so many more questions and get som many more wisdom from Matt that now I want a "Matt Finch Returns" episode someday.

Paweł Kicman. TTRPG designer by day, popculture journalist by night. Creator of CORP BORG, Kill Your Necromancer, Whispers of the Woods (LAST HOURS ON KICKSTARTER) and other weird things. He loves vanilla pudding, basketball, and sleeping.

I gotta say that what got my attention to Paweł's work was Corp Borg and his critique to corporations and all the shit related to them. That immediately made a connection with me, and when I saw the way the book looked and the awesome and brutal stuff you get to do, I was hooked. And not to mention all the creators I've met from Poland so far are great people!

On this chat with Paweł we get to know him a little bit better. We talk about his journey as a Game Designer, what dire circumstances lead him there, and how these turned into something unexpected. We talk about his previous experiences, works and how that all relate to the games he makes now.

We talked about inspiration, other artists, the weird stuff that he likes, and how very little things makes him happy (but how valuable those things are as well).

It was a great chat, with some very insightful and interesting sections I know you will love as we did!

Adam Vass is a tabletop RPG designer in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is a one-person operation: writing, illustrating, laying out, publishing, and distributing tabletop storytelling games from his house (though they love teaming up with friends for additional help). He is a multiple-time award winner for RPG designs including the stoner metal science fantasy Necronautilus, scumbag retrofuture Cybermetal 2012, playful and haunting Babes in the Wood, and many more. He is also cohost of the Brain Trust podcast, a semi-regular display of ttrpg design and philosophy with his best friend Will Jobst.

I follow Adam's work for a while and, as I said to him, he is like who I want to be when I grow up. His work is super well designed, unique, and with astonishing visual art to accompany. And when you see a game from Adam, you recognize from a distance! Great work!

On this chat we talked about music and how he draws inspiration from it, his work as a musician, how he is always making new games, his process, his desire to tone it down a bit, the creators that inspires him, and a lot more.

It's a great chat and I am very grateful for all the wisdom Adam shared with us. I hope you enjoy the chat as much as we did.

Sean F. Smith is a writer, a magician, and a games designer. He's written for critically acclaimed products like Odd Jobs and Moonlight on Roseville Beach, coordinates games for charity in South London as part of the Role Play Haven, and will not say Macbeth in a theatre (not even a lecture theatre).

Sean's work has been growing and growing and now permeates lots of my favorite game universes, including quite a few award-winning ones.

In this chat we talked about how his experiences outside of gaming, including his work as a illusionist and mind-reader, influences the way he creates TTRPG!

We also talked about how ghost stories seem universal, how sometimes we can perceive the Universe conspiring in our favor and against us. We talked about comedy in relation both to games and magic. We get deep into the meaning of weird, we talk art, creativity, process, all that jazz.

We go deep, and it gets weird!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Mike Evans is the creator DIY RPG Productions, author of Hubris (an incredibly and wonderfully bizarre weird fantasy setting for DCC RPG), Death is the New Pink, Barbarians of the Ruined Earth, and a lot more! But Mike is a lot more than that also!

Mike Evans moved to Rochester, NY in 2013 after his wife received her PhD in Toxicology at Rutgers University and took a post doctorate position at URMC.  Mike has been working in the non-profit sector for nearly a decade, serving as Director of Operations at Rochester Childfirst Network (RCN) and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Rochester, before becoming the Executive Director of the South East Area Coalition in October 2020. Recently Mike created a new tool lending library program, SEAC’s Tool Shed, which serves the Greater Rochester Area.

Mike has lived all over the country: Wyoming, Nebraska, California, Montana, New Jersey and now New York, “Rochester is a great place to live. I’m happy to call this my home.” Mike enjoys grunge and punk rock music, kayaking, biking, hiking, Star Wars, drumming, video games and writing. He currently runs his own publication company and has written seven books.

Mike is passionate about diversity, equality, and inclusion because, “only once we’re all equal and included, can we truly be rid of oppression and hate. I grew up idolizing Star Trek: Next Generation; all species, beliefs, cultures, views, etc. were discussed, accepted, and celebrated. That’s where we need to head.”

We had a great chat talking about trying to be a good person, trying to make games, coming with terms we are not doing this full time, his new projects, inspirations, weird experiences and a lot more!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Johan Nohr is a graphic designer, illustrator, game designer, and pretty must and awesome person! He is the co-mastermind behind Mörk Borg, and his unique style has created ripple in the TTRPG aesthetic as a whole.

I met Johan online, on the apocalyptic lands of Twitter, and his work on Mörk Borg quickly got my attention. The way the graphic design and illustration says just as much about the game as the text of the game really impressed me, and reminds me the work of literally illustrators and how they are as much as authors of the work as the writers themselves.

Besides that, Johan, Pelle, and everyone else involved with Mörk Borg are great at cultivating an inclusive and super active community. Mörk Borg is not just a game anymore, is almost like a style of gaming, and they certainly set an example I want to follow.

In this chat we talked about making art, being an artist, working full time with art, RPGs, inspirations, music, parenthood, coffee, morning rituals, and so, so much more.

It's a great chat, we go deep, we make it personal and it get's weird!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Felipe Faria is a fellow #RPGLATAM Artists, who has illustrated many amazing games and is well known for his black and white ink style that combines the best of old-school style art, comics and mangas. He has worked on titles such as, Primal Quest, Lilliputian: Adventure on the Open Seas, We Deal In Lead, and many more.

I've been following Felipe for a few years and I was immediately captivated by his style, composition, and choices! His characters have a unique style that feels like only him would be able to do it. And not to mention that even though when Felipe started his art was already incredibly good, we can see his techniques getting better and better as he is constantly working and studying his craft.

In this chat we talked about how he got into RPG through the art, traditional media versus digital, how art and RPG relate to each other, his influences, practices and many other things.

The audio on this one isn't 100% but it is still a valuable episode that I hope you will enjoy!

Michael Curtis has been working in the RPG industry since 2008 and playing RPGs since 1980. He is mostly known for his work on the DCC RPG line, including such adventures as Frozen in Time, Intrigue at the Court of Chaos, and the DCC Lankhmar set, and for his classic Dungeon Alphabet book and the old-school megadungeon Stonehell. Michael is currently the Director of Product Development for the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG at Goodman Games.Thank you for listening!

Michael Curtis is a tremendous inspiration for me and my work. As the DCC RPG served as a renaissance for my understanding of fantasy gaming, Michael's adventures and discourse about them (as I listened avidly on any podcast he would appear on) would help me understand a little bit more of this adventure craft!

When I got to learn more about Fritz Leiber, fell in love with Lankhmar and heard Mr. Curtis was going to be the lead designer in the DCC adaptation of that world to the RPG scene I was thrilled. And it's not surprising DCC Lankhmar is my favorite flavor of DCC RPG!

But in this chat we talked about a lot more than just gaming. We talked art, life journeys, how we fit or don't around other people, unique experiences and a lot of other weird stuff!

So listen up and get weird with us!

Lukasz Kowalczuk is a comic artist and illustrator whose unique style gives whole new identity to whatever he is working on. He is the artist behind To Hell and Galgenback, the Mork Borg webcomic series, and is the illustrator of the award winning Kosmosaurs RPG, among many other amazing works!

I got lucky enough to meet Lukasz online and his style, energy and philosophy quickly draw us closer. I had the honor to collaborate with him on Kosmosaurs RPG, which wouldn't be the same without him, and on other projects, like Primal Quest. We still have plans of many other collaborations but in this chat we talked about a lot of other things.

We discussed the stress of the holiday season, parenthood and how we do our best for our kids. We discussed his influences and artists he admires the most, his techniques for being productive, his tips for beginners, his complicated relationship with comics and a lot more!

We had a great time! Listen up and get weird with Lukasz Kowalczuk!

Navi is one half of A Couple of Drakes, the duo behind Court of Blades, Dead Belt, and a score of other badass tabletop games. A mother of two young boys, and an avid hobby collector, living in a haunted Victorian house in the Appalachian mountains.

I meet Navi and her partner Shawn through Tweeter and was impressed by their enthusiasm and their constant production of thoughtful and unique RPG ideas. We did collaborate on a small piece for Court of Blades and then I followed them from some distance. But I was super excited to have Navi here to talk a bit more about their work.

On this chat we talked about their games, how they work together, how their process work, how she has a very healthy way of looking at large works and not be intimidated, how she loves building things and taking something old and making it new somehow.

We also talk a bit about being parents, about her experiences with the supernatural (and she has quite a bit), and a lot more weirdness! We loved it! You will hear in our voices!

So listen up and get weird with Navi Drake!

Jen Brinkman is the Operations Manager of Goodman Games, but she is also so much more than that. Host of the award-winning Spellburn podcast, co-creator of the Sanctum-Securum podcast and the legendary Brinkmanicon, the spiritual mother of the DCC RPG community, Jen is an inspiration to us all.

I met Jen in 2014 when I went to Gen Con for the first time and I was immediately welcomed by the DCC RPG community. The kindness and warmth from the community and especially from her was remarkable. And it's like this for everyone. The Order of Sheena is there to prover that, and Jen talks a bit about this on the episode.

We also talk about her journey in the RPG space, how she doesn't see herself as weird (but I think I convinced her), how she drinks quite a bit of coffee, how balance is so important in life, how we need to remind ourselves from time to time why we do all this...

We also talked about a lot of RPG related stuff, like the Indie RPG Summit that will happen in January and how she will be a speaker. We talked about the people in the community that inspires us, the people we learned from, GEN CON, and so much more.

We had a great time and we left the conversation with a lot to think about and I hope you all do too!

Nick LS Whelan has somehow gone unpunished for his litany of book crimes. His works include such unwholesome publications as Sanctimonious Slimes Versus Expired Epicures, Miscreated Creatures, and Deadly Dungeons. This rampage of mangled word wrangling will never stop until someone has the courage to take away his keyboard. When not doing words badly, he can usually be found washing dishes, advocating for weeds, building unnavigable websites, or failing to understand jokes. Most of his work can be found on PapersPencils.com.

I have been following Nick's work for a long while and I've learned a lot from him. His site Papers and Pencils has so many essential articles and has had a huge influence on my game design. I can honestly say the magic systems I create wouldn't be the same if where not for the "Magic Words" articles he wrote. And one of my favorite podcasts of all time was created by Nick himself: Blogs on Tape. And it's exactly what the title says. The podcast was simply the best RPG blog posts out there read aloud for you! Excellent!

In this chat we talked a lot about all of this, his journey through the RPG sphere, how we were like passing ships in the night the RPG spaces, weird games he played, and a lot more.

We also got deep and personal, talking about childhood, mental health, creative process, what is weird for him, how he always felt like the odd one out, how he sometimes prefer not to look too much into who made the pieces of art he appreciates, how he has issues with authority, how unique RPGs are intrinsically, and so much more.

Listen up and get with with Nick LS Whelan!

Tony runs Plus One Exp, a weird brand that multiclasses in tabletop game design, beard & skincare alchemy & the bardic college of content creation. Our passion at Plus One Exp is help create more sustainable pathways to publication and play.

I cannot say enough good things about Tony. He and his channel has been a force for good in the Indie TTRPG community, helping bring awareness to the work of a lot of creators from all over the world, and not only that. Now Plus One Exp is creating opportunities for Indie RPG designers to put their work in front of many people with their RPG Zine Club!

We obviously talked about all that, his journey in the TTRPG space, how he can wear almost any hat in the production of a game, how his work experience and journey through other spaces helped him bring a new look and way to do things in our hobby, and a lot more.

We talk about fatherhood, mental health, religion, spirituality, people we admire, weird games we play, and a lot more. Tony doesn't hold back and is very open, which is lovely for everyone!

Will Munn is the award-nominated and bestselling creator of Arium, the worldbuilding RPG. He runs the Adept Icarus game design studio and has collaborated on RPGs such as Cold Shadows, Tiny Frontiers, and Zorro, the Roleplaying Game. Willalso serves as a publisher for multiple award-winning and bestselling game designers. All four continental US timezones have been his home, and he'd like to add to the list.

I met Will Munn through our mutual friend and kind of mutual mentor, Alan Bahr, from Gallant Knight Games. And I immediately saw how Will is a focused and very creative person. I had the great opportunity to work with him on Arium, collaborating with a few random tables, and I am so grateful for that.

On this chat we talked about many things, including how is it being a father of 4, how he has this unique way of working collaboratively with his team, how RPGs are all about exploring the weird in a safe way, how life is always changing and how sometimes we just have to wait to see where it takes us (and often it's to a batter place).

We talk about games too of course, especially Arium and Cyan Starlight, a new project he is developing with Alan Bahr, which touches on very emotional and unique themes.

We had a great chat. We go deep, and we get personal. I hope you enjoy it.

Cezar Capacle is a Brazilian Game Designer, author of the PUSH SRD, Midnight Melodies, Oneironaut, and so so many more. Cezar is a Game Artist, always exploring new ideas, new frontiers and showing us what RPGs can do. He has released more than 20 games, ranging from games you play while you're asleep to tender games about saying goodbye, to tower defense games in which you're a cow defending your farm from a zombie attack. 

I am always impressed by how prolific, creative and well made Cezar's games are. And the range of themes, mechanics, and experiences these games provide are incredibly impressive. Cezar navigates all styles of play, from classic adventure games, to story focused ones, and even abstract or tactical games.

On this episode we talked mainly about two of his games: Midnight Melodies and Oneironaut.

Midnight Melodies is a solo RPG in which you play as a jazz pianist who discovers they're immune to the touch of the Grim Reaper. Instead of claiming your life, the Reaper recruits you for the Department of Unauthorized Deaths. Each night, after your performance at the club, you find a scrap of paper in your tip jar - the name of someone taken without consent. You must unravel the mystery of these unauthorized deaths, using your newfound supernatural talents, and perform an eerie harmony to report your findings to the Reaper before sunrise.

Oneironaut is a solo role-playing game in which you take on the role of an Ahiag̃ soldier in a fight against Yurupari for control over the dream world. Visit fantastic places and shape the world as you wish. Using lucid dreaming techniques, this game allows you to develop the ability to control your dreams and fulfill Ahiag̃'s missions during your sleep. Embark on this dreamlike journey and discover things you never thought you would be able to do.

But we talked about a lot more than game and game design. We talked about being weird, accepting yourself, our creative processes, his journey as a game designer, minimalist life style, how criticism affect us.

We get personal talking about how the loss of a loved one made him reevaluate his life, his choices and led him to the place his is today. We talked about religion, Catholicism, Buddhism, stoicism, and A LOT MORE!

This is a juice episode and I really hope y'all enjoy it!

Yeah, that is right! Hodag, the multidimensional illustrator and game designer returns to the show to flood us with his wisdom and ideas!

You can listen to the first time Hodag came to the show here: https://anchor.fm/wgnwp/episodes/17-Hodag-e2bt2v3

This episode is then, basically, a bonus episode, but not like other bonus episodes you can basically skip, this one is chock full of wisdom and insight from an accomplished and wise artist (and we just had a great time talking and exploring the themes we talked).

So with little to no preparation, this chat brought us talks about how he hates metric system, how was his experience with D&D, anime, what would be his favorite cartoons (we discussed our favorite pokemons), our relationship with superheroes RPGs and comics (and we praise Tiny Supers as a great option for super games).

The chat also goes into safety tools and their importance, sessions zero, world building, MDA framework (game design stuff), and so much more.

momatoes is a Manila-based 2022 Diana Jones Emerging Designer awardee best known for her game ARC, one of Polygon's top indie RPGs of 2021. momatoes creates games that tackle a wide gamut of stories, from the apocalypse to hubris to capybara Capers. Her latest game, The Marvelous Children of Inang-Uri, was just released this November.

ARC - Doom Tabletop RPG impresses you from the time you glimpse its cover and its marvelous design and art. It feels unique, authentic and personal. The way the text, design and art talk to each other is almost unparalleled. And the game... wow! It makes you realize how much tabletop RPGs can do. And we can bring the experience to transcend the mental space and interact with the world around us and with the people we are playing. It is really magical.

But now momatoes comes with a new incredible game, a world building game of fantastical weird imagination, that you can also use as a setting preparation for your favorite game. And again, the book is beyond beautiful and well designed. And you know what else? 100% of the sales up to December 12th will go to Doctors Without Borders! Great game designer, great artists, great human!

But we talked about a lot more than gaming in this chat, as we touched on our love for cats, capybaras, how she always kinda felt weird, as few of her friends has this interest in 19th century Russian novels, how her background in engineering and her experiences helped her way of approaching game design.

We also talked about artists that inspires her work, how editorial and children's book illustrations could influence art in RPG books, the weirdest games she played, how she often can be aware she is dreaming but can' quite control it, how we are the happiest when we are connecting with our favorite people, and a lot more.

It was a delightful chat and made me feel lighter in the end somehow and I thank momatoes for this.

So listen up and get weird with us!

Marcia B is a prolific TTRPG Blogger, a scholar of old-school style play, and an attentive Game Designer. Her blog has been a reference of RPG theory and analysis, and her game design work is full of insight and useful tools.

Fantastic Medieval Campaigns might be one of Marcia's most known creations. This games intends on taking the classic rules of the original fantasy game (OD&D) and present it in a way so that we can REALLY read what is written there and take our on conclusions from it. From its own page: "The goal of FMC, rather than to offer a new take on the original role-playing game, is to refresh our memories and problematize our preconceptions of a text (or even of a whole genre) that we have taken for granted. The rules are one-to-one with the original, even where there is confusion or falsehood. There is no benefit of a standard vocabulary. There is no one way of doing anything. There is only unadulterated fantasy. And a clean, modern layout that’s easier to navigate!"

Her work on her blog Traverse Fantasy has been the topic of discussion in many circles, including here in Brazil. Marcia does deep, and analyzes rules, styles of play, texts and social context of the games we love and arrive at surprising and insightful conclusions. She knows what she is talking about, and you can feel it.

In this chat we had the chance to talk about how we relate to RPGs both as our hobby and our focus of study and work (and how that can contrast with each other). How ambiguity of rules can inform gameplay in different ways, how RPGs "evolved" over time, the use of weird rules and how that makes the game unique.

We talk about other games we love, the creators and peers that inspire us, the two kinds of weird she see arounds, her experiences with the supernatural and the weird, one of her favorite place to visit (a UFO museum), and so much more.

We had a great chat, I learned a lot, and I hope you enjoy it too.

So let's get weird with Marcia B!

Kelsey Dionne is a new and old-school TTRPG designer who founded The Arcane Library in 2017. Her modernized take on OSR gaming, Shadowdark RPG, funded for $1.3 million on Kickstarter in March 2023.

I couldn't believe when I saw Kelsey at Gen Con, just walking through the Exhibitor's Hall like the rest of us mortals! And when I talked to her she knew who I was and about my work. She is incredible, really. One of the kindest people I've meet, and even though she is now a Dark Lady of the hobby, she keeps doing good!

Since the meteor that was Shadowdark hit me earlier this year with its slick rules, real time mechanics, cool AF art (including art from the incredible Brazilian artist, Yuri Perkowski Domingos), tons of tables to help you keep the game going, I have been learning more and more about Kelsey's work, following the development of the game, and its vibrant and welcoming community. I hope the Shadowdarkers out there know they have a treasure at their hands!

We obviously talked about Kelsey's masterpiece, its influences, the weirdest and coolest things in it, about her journey through games, how she explores different kind of games and learn from each of them, how she approaches her work, her routines, and so on.

But we talked about things beyond Shadowdark, of course. We talked about being weird, how it was then and how it is now. How her life completely changed this year after the Kickstarter. We talk about love, relationship and we even give relationship advice (we can, we are people too!).

We talk about music, art, artists, nightmares, horror, ghosts, aliens, spirituality, how atheists and theists have quite a lot in common, and a lot more. And after all that, almost 2 hours of great talk, we say good bye with the impression that only 45 minutes passed. I loved it!

Richie Buzzkill is the producer behind the Full Metal RPG Podcast, which has been around for several years and touched almost every topic about TTRPG you could imagine and a little more. He is also, as he said himself, a Master Procrastinator, and someone who wanted to be an artist but was born with the soul of an engineer.

We have been following each other's work for a long while as we almost begin this journey in the Indie RPG space simultaneously. I met Richie through a mutual friend (Brandon, former host of the FMRPG podcast) and we quickly become friends as well. They had me over their show a few times, and through their work I learned a lot.

In this chat we had the chance to sit down, talk weird, get deep and figure some stuff out! We talked about him having hobby ADHD, about how he dabbles with many art outlets, how he found himself on audio engineering (which does sound like a perfect intersection of his interests), about his explorations with photography, and a lot more. This led us to talk about photography in RPGs, weirdest games we played, we even have weird game ideas while discussing the strange shows we have been watching.

We had a great chat, and I am always delighted into having a glimpse behind people's work and philosophy. I hope you enjoy it too.

So listen up, and let's get weird with Richie Buzzkill!

Jarrett has helped create some of the most popular indie rpg systems, modules, and toolkits of the last decade. Primarily a behind-the-scenes person, he has recently started his own company, Space Penguin Ink, with his partner debbie and his cats. He looks forward to making more weird stuff every day! I've been working with Jarrett and getting to know him a little bit better since my first years of making RPG things "professionally" around 2016 or 2017, and his attention to detail, his talent for making something good even better, is astonishing. And for what I've seen, and how I see these things going, it is only getting better and better. In fact, many of our favorite indie OSR/NSR RPG books and series out there have a finger or two of him. He has working with many indie authors, and companies such as Exalted Funeral, Tuesday Knight Games, Melsonian Art Council and many others. The thing is, Jarrett forgets he worked on stuff (there are so many) and does his best to keep his attention in what he is making now. In the present. And that's almost a life philosophy he carries into so many other areas. In our chat we got to talk about how his work of an editor and publisher is, how he loves being the first person to see these amazing books other creators are making, how he does with his routine, and the many tasks he has to do (while navigating ADHD as well), how he was raised in a haunted house, how art and RPGs are related, who are his major inspirations, and a lot more. This was a great chat, and I am happy I got to see a little bit behind his work, how he thinks, how he organizes his time, and how he understands this weird thing we love so much.

12th Episodes! And today we have a very special guest, a game designer that has been influential to my work and to so many other game designers I admire as well, Chris McDowell!

Chris is a TTRPG designer in Manchester UK, known for Into the Odd, Electric Bastionland, and the upcoming Mythic Bastionland. He makes rules-light flavour-heavy games and writes at ⁠bastionland.com⁠.

I had the pleasure and honor to meet Chris at Gen Con 2023. We talked a little bit, I gave him some of my games, and it was certainly one of the highlights of the convention for me. 

It's hard to know what to say about Chris McDowall's work. He creates ver well thought out and crafted games that are very simple to use, but that have so much depth both in terms of setting and mechanics to explore. His work, as he says himself, has influence from miniature games and boardgames and reminds me some of my favorite of those games. Those that have very simple and minimal mechanics but that offer so much possibility and space for exploration for them. This lets everyone play the game, but offer those interested in it a lot of room for mastery.

He is also very generous with the knowledge he accumulated making games and studying them. Not only his games have an unique way to teach of how to play them better and to make the best use of its possibilities, he also maintains a gaming blog where he talks about theory, design, playtesting, and anything gaming related that is really a treasure trove of knowledge.

And if that was not enough, Chris is constantly helping out and uplifting other creators, talking about their work in his channels, making the gaming engines he creates available for other to work with for FREE mind you, and a lot more.

Anyway, in this chat we got to talk about what is weird, how we find it in the absence of things, how we can explore this "void" in the game design we make. We talked about art, artists, game design and game designers, how non-combat encounters are so interesting, his different creative approaches, what we value and what has a real impact in our lives, our problems with anxiety, and all sorts of weird thing in between.

Oh, and we obviously talked quite a bit about his upcoming Mythic Bastionland RPG, which will bring mythology to Bastionland in a total unique way!

So listen up, and let's get weird with Chris McDowell!

Wow! 11 Episodes! And to celebrate the double digits, we have double guests! From the Epic Levels music, Mad Dungeon podcast, and the many artistic exploration of them, come Andrew Bellury and Steve Albertson! I had the pleasure to meet both during Gen Con 2023 and I had the best time with them. What I can really say about those two? Known as Tiger Wizard and Dragon Warrior, these artists make music, art, games, podcasts and pretty much anything you can imagine, and they somehow tie it all back to RPGs! It's all infused with ingenuity, humor, and a playfulness you will hear in their voices. And being podcasters themselves, in this episode they turned the table around and asked me a bunch of stuff too, so I ramble even more than I usually do, so I apologize in advance for that. But, on bright side, they made me talk about an artist that inspires me a lot and to whom I refer to as my creative crush! Want to know who they are? Well, I hope you do. ;) We joke around, we talk art, we talk creativity, we discuss our latests projects, we talk metaphysical, weird experiences, and all the jazz you are used to (but which is different every time somehow, isn't it "weird"?).

We reached 10 episodes! And for such a special occasion we have a very special guest! Ava Islam, creator of Errant RPG gets weird with us!

Ava Islam is a very resourceful creator, from a mixed background and a lot of drive. She created the fabulous Errant RPG, a rules lite procedure heavy fantasy RPG that drinks both from the original well of fantasy gaming, and from the myriad of contemporary thought on the same topic! It feels at the same time very familiar and classic, but also very unique, new, and well thought of.

On thing that fascinates me about Ava's work is how she has no qualms about taking what works from something and ignoring what not and then welding it to this whole tapestry of her work.

In the chat we talked about how her experiences in life and with other games, horror movies, how her own issues and concerns helped guide her design choices.

It's a very good episode with many insightful and learnable moments from a great designer that knows how to take what is good out there and make it work!

So get weird with Ava Islam!

9th Episode (one more till we get to 10!!!)! This time I had the honor to sit down and talk to Giuliano Roverato, the Game of the Year award-winning game designer from Brazil!

Giuliano Roverato is a Brazilian game designer that lives for good food, exploring the weird dungeons on the forgotten corners of our reality and doom scrolling on twitter. Made Bakto's Terrifying Cuisine and Brave Zenith, and is currently delving into obscure PS2 games in his spare time.

I love how Giuliano Roverato work mixes the weird and the whimsical, with a touch that it is unique to being a Brazilian. We talked about how his fascination for the weird lead to Indie RPGs, how video games are a inspiration to his work, and how he believes they are more adept at exploring the weird than most RPGs are (and we discussed how many of these did that)

That maybe our longest episode to that but it's totally worth it. We talk game design in various instances, we talk about a very fascinating book called the House of Leaves. And as usual, we get weird and talk about the metaphysical and our believes.

You are gonna like this one! So get weird, with Giuliano Roverato!

8th Episode! Today with the creative and resourceful creator Marco Serrano, from Spicy Tuna. 

Marco Serrano may be best known by his various and excellent contributions to the Mothership Space Horror RPG with his 3rd Party publications, but he also worked on many other things (and is working on even more), including A Butterfly Dies for Primal Quest (a great 3rd Party Module inspired by Latin American culture)! He is currently working on his first full game system called Greenhorns: Creators of Worlds, in which you create and see the development of worlds in the universe.

Marco is also a dad of 4, a graphic, designer, and illustrator and a lot more things (aren't we all?). We talked about his passion for short stories, how they work, some of his favorite ones, and how can they influence our game design. We talked about comics, art, stuff you make but you don't share. We discussed how he operates doing search and learning new things all the time, and how that inspires and informs his work and life. We also talked religion, catholicism, growing up in a church and delved into the weird as usual.

Marco cites a lot of interesting material I don't have all the links to yet but I will try to find it (if any of you can help me with that, that would be great).

Seventh Episode! This time we welcome the incredible artist and game designer Alan Bahr, of Gallant Knight Games and many other things!

Disclaimer here. Alan and I are good friends, we worked together as partners while I published my games under his company. I learned a lot from Alan, not only in terms of making games, but on how to be a good person this world. I owe a lot to him.

Alan Bahr is probably best known for his work on the amazing line of games using the TinyD6 system. His award-winning and best-selling works include Tiny Dungeon, Tiny Supers (one of my favorite Supers RPG), Tiny Cthulhu, Tomb-Punk, Shadows of a Dying Sun, Crescendo of Violence, and so many more I could keep going for quite a few paragraph. If that was not impressive by itself, all this work that Alan does is singular and explores so many areas, genres, mechanics, and themes that makes you wonder how the heck does he come up with all of this!

Well, I think we might have had a glimpse of the answer in this episode. In our chat, Alan shared how he has his curious mind and how he enjoys learning and discovery. I am always seen Alan exploring many different fields of interest such as philosophy, music, podcast, archeology, and the list could go on as well. And he talks a little bit how this passion made him build his own world in a way.

During the episode we got weird and deep, talking about spirituality, religion, creativity, and the journey Alan has made from where he began and where he is now. And how it all turns out might surprise you, and might teach you something too.

I really don't know what else to say besides, I love Alan. We had a great chat. It was very inspirational. And oh, yeah, we talked about game design and he made me think about stuff I never considered.

Here's links to Alan's work!

Sixth Episode! Today we welcome the amazing designer Emanoel Melo!

Emanoel Melo is an art director and game designer from Brazil and he publishes his work under the Cabinet of Curiosities label. He recently published the boxed set version of his minimalist CBR+PNK game in partnership with Mythworks (you should ABSOLUTELY check it out), and is the author of of many other RPG books and games such as Escape from Station 52, Dodecahedrax, and many others.

I love Emanoel's work and his attention to detail. His games have just the exact amount of words, graphics and art to give you everything you need to play and imagine these fantastical universes in your table.

During our talk we realized how analytical and detailed his vision is, and how he look over things with the intention of dissecting and making it work on his own terms. We also talked about his fascination with ghost stories, aliens, and many other weird things, including a near death experience he had when he was younger.

It's a very entertaining and insightful chat. I hope you like it as much as we did! Now let's get weird with Emanoel Melo!

Our fifth episode! This time we welcome the insightful and inspiring Evlyn Moreau!

Evlyn is an illustrator from Montreal, she loves to draw strange creatures and to craft zines. Her work mixes illustrations and roleplaying game content in a personal and whimsical way. She is the co-author of the adventure "Where the Wheat Grows Tall." She recently illustrated The Cleaning of Prison Station Echo and Crime Fighting Luchadores.

I am fascinated by how her work mixes cutesy, whimsical, weird and horrifying in perfectly measures to create an enchanting mix. Her work also touches a lot of personal themes that makes her art and games very authentic and personal, which makes me connect with it even more. I just love it.

We talked about many cool things, such as our rituals for creating, our criticism, how we both kinda wanted to be invisible as kids, and throughout the episode Evlyn dispenses really great insights that open our minds to new interpretations of what we take for granted. I learned a lot!

It's a great chat. I hope you like it as much as we did! Now let's get weird with Evelyn Moreau!

Lucas is a passionate and hard working creator that explores new mechanics and rules in his games, always interested in new ways for players to interact with the fiction without bringing old assumptions to the table. He is also a great artists and you can see him exploring illustration, graphic design and other fields while he develops his work, learning with him in the process! It's GREAT!

We talked about the weird in the mundane, the relationship between the two.
