Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
In this, our 50th episode of our interview series, I have the pleasure of talking to Momatoes about her Doomsday RPG, ARC. It’s currently up on Kickstarter and their next stretch goal blew my mind (more on that at the end of the interview.)
Back the Kickstarter here, there are 3 days left to go!

This is the last of our trio of interviews celebrating the Our Shores Kickstarter. Today I’m talking to Joaquin a Filipino writer, novelist, serialist, and game designer from the Philippines.
Joaquin along with partner Gio, is working on perhaps my favourite of the 3 tentpole Our Shores projects. Maharlika, a technomystic Science Fantasy mecha RPG inspired by Filipino Mythology. Like of course I’m gonna be hype for that?!
Go check out the Our Shores kickstarter.

It’s been a long, exhausting year. We’re all trying to survive Plagues, Ecological Collapse, and Capitalism. Sounds like a perfect time to talk about woodland bandits robbing vampires! It’s time to talk about Brinkwood!
This week, to get you all excited for their kickstarter, we’ve pulled this interview out of the depths of long distant January…it was a different time. I hope you enjoy listening to Erik tell us about this exciting Forged in the Dark game.
Coming to Kickstarter on the 15th of September 2020.
Follow Erik on twitter to hear more about the game.
This week were talking to Blake.
Blake is a creator from the Seattle area of the US. They’ve recently been growing their presence in the game design community by taking part in a lot of game jams. I’ve been enjoying following their work, and hearing their voice in the community.
Soup is the creator of As I Imagine The Falling Rain, an RPG we played on Solo. We had a lovely discussion about the layout of the game, and how that informs your play. We also talked about the RPG design course that pushed Soup to start making more games. Continue reading “Interview With Soup”
CONTENT WARNING: Death, Injury, Fire, War.
(This game REALLY should be played before you listen to the AP, it is totally possible to have this game spoiled for you. Get it here.)
A wonderful, emotional, and atmospheric episode of Solo. Playing through this guided solo RP experience was my FAVOURITE part of this series so far. It pulls together several underused tools of storytelling that we don’t see nearly often enough in RPGs. Not at the mechanical level anyway.
It’s, FANTASTIC!
We chat with the Sword Queen herself Jamila, a game maker from the Philippines working in a bunch of different design spaces, and a genuine delight! You should all check out Jammi’s new game Take My Revolution.

We have a 2 part interview series to celebrate Ray’s continuing recovery.
This week we’re talking to Ettin about his role in making Hard Wired Island. Ettin talks us through some of the setting, it’s weirder parts, and almost goes on a rant about AI.
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.

Our 30th interview, and it’s a really interesting topic.
The San Jenaro Co-Op is a new experiment in RPG production. A cooperatively owned and run organisation working together to promote and produce RPG content. With each member sharing in the profits.
They sent two members of their org over to talk to us. New comer to the industry Chris, and established designer Liam. I was excited to be part of Chris’ learning process, and also to hear both of them tell me about the interesting work they are doing over at San Jenaro.
