Reynaldo Madrinan is the co-author of Break!! RPG, a blogger and a really passionate game designer. Break!! is inspired by anime, manga, classic role playing games and NES era video games. The game’s skeleton will be familiar to anyone who's slung a d20 before, but the game's eclectic mix of inspirations will provide you with a very different fantasy experience.
The games simple rules still allow for interesting options in play. Perform elaborate, collaborative stunts in combat or use the Battlefield features to your advantage. Or why not charm, intimidate or talk your way through a challenge using Negotiation.
The 470 page book is loaded with diagrams and infographics to make learning, and using, the rules as simple as possible. It’s also be punctuated with full-color art to bring the Outer World and its exotic inhabitants to life.

Matthew Orr is a TTRPG creator and co-owner of Wet Ink Games. He likes to read about history, about animals (especially cryptids), and he loves comics (but not superhero comics). He has an obsession with bleak 1970s sci-fi movies he can't quite explain. All of this seems to show up in his games. He makes games, publishes games, and help other do the same!
I recently had the honor and pleasure to collaborate with Wet Ink Games on a project and it was one of my favorite experiences ever! I, of course, jumped on the opportunity to invite him for an interview and we had a great chat! Oh, and he interviewed me too BTW! Check it out: https://youtu.be/sPzN0A1UQzc
In this interview we talked about Wet Ink Games, we talked about Jinagshi, which is getting reprinted and expanded with new scenarios (including one I wrote), we talked about his hair not being cut by other for 20 years, we talked about inspirations, routines, history, biology, and we talked about Narrative Voice in RPGs, which was super interesting!

Dan is a freelance graphic artists rumored to have worked on pretty much all Swedish RPGs, he is a member of the fantastic Stockholm Kartell!
In this weird and wonderful chat we talked about his work as a graphic designer, how is his process, influences, and way he things about art and games. We talked also about his collection of beers, the importance of community, exercise, other artists creators and creations, and so much more!

Scott found his father's 1st Editon Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide at age 8 in 1983, and his path was set. He moved on from D&D to Car Wars, Gamma World, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Starfinder, both playing and game mastering, untill settling on Mörk Borg and its ilk during the pandemic. Now he is finding out the ups and downs of crowdfunding and self-publishing as he attempts to bring his own post-apocalyptic vision into the world with Wasteland Degenerates!
We talked about bugs, about game design, about post-apocalypse fiction and games. We chatted about how our boring normal lives intervene in our work, and how it somehow helps shape it.

74 Pawel Klimczak
Épisode 74
vendredi 14 juin 2024 • Durée 01:50:00
Pawel Klimczak is the game designer and a publisher of Slav Borg, a Post-Soviet, Semi-Fantasy Role-Playing Game. He is also a journalist and a musician interested in the intersection of the social conditions and art.
I immediately backed Slav Borg when I saw it on Kickstarter. It had cool looking post-apocalyptic cars. It was inspired by Mörk Borg, an incredible game I love, and it drew from a topic that interests me a lot, which is the the culture from other countries that did experience socialism and now live under something else. And this is one of the themes explored in the book as well.
In this chat we talked about many interesting topics which include all the origin story of Slav Borg, the love/hate relationship Pawel has with cars, how he loves bikes, art, process, creativity, mental health, influences and all sorts of weirdness. It was very cool and enlightening.
So listen up and get weird with us!

Jeremy Pillipow is a Canadian hobby YouTuber, artist, and game designer. His YouTube channel is full of tutorials on how to craft terrain, and many other things too, as Jeremy learns in public, sharing lessons, mistakes and, more importantly, constantly encouragement and quite a bit of wisdom.
Jeremy also recently published a Skirmish game inspired by TTRPG as well called Idols of Torment, and we talk a bit about the game, and how RPGs influence his work.
The episode main themes are crafting, making mistakes, making do with what you have and a lot of hand on wisdom that works perfectly for making terrain and objects, but can be also applied to game design, and other forms of art as well.
It was a very cool episode and I learned a lot from Jeremy. I hope you do dot.

71 Jason Morningstar
Épisode 71
mercredi 5 juin 2024 • Durée 01:38:33
Jason Morningstar is perhaps the iconic Indie RPG Game Designer in my mind. He is the legendary creator of Fiasco, one of my favorite games of all time, which continues to inspire me to this very day. He also created many other masterpieces like Night Witches, Durance, Skeletons and many others. He is also an educator, and, more importantly, he is generous, kind, and supportive with other in our community.
This chat was only supposed to last for 1 hour but we managed to stretch it to a little over 1 hours and a half and I with we could have gone for another 2 hours, but I had to go. Good news is Jason enjoyed the chat and is willing to come back!
We talked about process, art, creativity, curiosity, the constant impulse to find novelty, the search of the weirdness in the mundane. We talked about other games, creators, and art that inspires us. Jason also shared lots of stories and pieces of wisdom we can all learn from, which I am always seeking.
This is one of my favorite episodes. I am a big fan of Jason's work. It was an honor to talk to him about it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did so...
