Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
We had occasion to talk to game designer, and fellow interviewer; Brie Sheldon. We talked about what motivates them to create, why they interview people, and Brie even gave us some ideas for Two Sided Quest!
We also tried out some slight modifications to our intro.

Ben is a Maltese-Australian game designer with a background in video game design; but he also makes RPGs. We had him on to talk about his history, his process, and some of his games. It was a blast and we can’t wait to play Ben’s stuff.

We also talked about DC’s game dev origin story, and the intersection of Martial Arts and Rap music. Continue reading “Interview with DC, designer of Mutants in the Night”

We hope that you enjoy the interview, and please check out the Kickstarter. Continue reading “Hack The Planet, interview with Fraser Simons”
