Descent into Midnight Interview

This week we have a lovely conversation with Taylor LeBresh, one of the many people working on the upcoming RPG release Descent Into Midnight.

The game focuses on community, family, and hope.
Set in a technologically advanced aquatic civilization whose culture has never been touched by humanity.
Players take on the roles of guardians, defending their community from a physical, emotional, and even existential threats.

Taylor and I had a lovely long discussion about how the team itself was built around those themes, and how they are bringing the game to life.

You can find out more about Descent Into Midnight on Kickstarter or on Twitter.

NYWF Needs More Game Makers!

In following with the example set by the festival. I would like to acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, who are the traditional custodians of the land the festival was held on, and that this podcast was made on. I pay respect to their elders past and present as well as to any listeners with a connection to the world’s oldest continuing culture. I would also like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

National Young Writers Festival happens every year in early October, in Newcastle Australia. It is part of a collection of arts festivals that happen as part of This Is Not Art festival. It’s free to attended, and offers workshops, panels, comedy sets, poetry readings, and more!

It’s made up of artists from all over the place, getting together, and sharing their creative energy, insight, and skills with each other and the public.

I want more game makers to attend, and more importantly; I want them on panels!

Let us see if I can convince you, while I pay homage to The Mixed Six. Continue reading “NYWF Needs More Game Makers!”
