07 Alan Bahr

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!
