Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
This month Ray got the chance to chat with Logan, a game maker from down Melbourne way. We’ve followed Logan’s work for a while and have found it to be unique and inspiring in the way he experiments with the art form. It was great to finally get to sit down an chat with Logan about game design and his work.
You can find more from Logan at the links below. Continue reading “Interview with Logan Timmins”

Ruins is a game we’ve fallen in love with since playing it.
It’s multi format, with room and support for a lot of different kinds of role play.
it brings you in, so many different ways.
This first look is a bit of an experiment, like the game it focus on.
Something vloggy, that focuses more on Ray’s experiences of playing the game for the first time.
We talk to Luke about their new Utopian game, the need for hopeful fiction, and I finally find out what a Belonging Outside Belonging game is. All that and more in our final public episode of the year.
Get your own copy of Dream Anew here.
We’ll be back with more content in January, or subscribe to our patreon to get one more episode of Quest Markers before the end of the year.
This week we have a special interview with my partner, and collaborator Rae.
We’ve been working on a poetry board game together. In it you write poems about the rooms of a house you imagine yourself to be exploring. There are prompts about the contents of the house to help you, and at the end you do a reading of your house poems.
It’s called Architype and we thought interviewing Rae would be a fun way to introduce it to you. Continue reading “Interview with Rae White”

Next week we’ll be talking to Freyja about her role, the mechanics of the game, and how she got into game design.
Hard Wired Island is up on Kickstarter right now, you can find more here.

We’ve been quietly following a game called Relics since Ray first heard about it at GXAustralia in 2017. The fact that it’s about Angels was enough to get us interested, but it’s exploration of memory, power, and and strange events pulled us in deeper.
This week we talk to Steve Dee, the Australian game dev responsible for much of Relics. Ray and Steve also talked a little bit about the history of game design in Australia and how the scene has changed. As well as talking about zines and newsletters.
If you want a to help make Relics a reality, support it on Kickstarter.

We hope you enjoyed this series, stay tuned for more Live. Love. Die. in the future.

Something special and intimate. Ray played through a demo of their new game. Solo. It was quite raw and emotional and some of the best podcasting we’ve done to be honest.
A great way to see how LLDR plays; Ray explains why the mechanics are what they are. Leading the listener through a guided experience of Mecha Tragedy.
