We're making a game together - but first, we've got to learn from the experts. That's right, we're talking about study, how it can be fun, and why it's an important step in TTRPG design.

To talk about study as part of our designer creative process, Alex talks to Ashley Warren, a designer and director of the Storytelling Collective!

To find Ashley's awesome work with Storytelling Collective, including the TTRPG book club Bookwyrms, check out this link here: https://www.storytellingcollective.com/

Ashley can be found on her website here: https://www.scribemind.com/

Thanks to Zoe, Freya and Liam for being my amazing playtesters in this episode and creating such wonderful characters.

Welcome back to Wait, Roll That Again!

On this episode, big challenges arise in the game design process, which leads to a step in adifferent direction. 

But first, Clayton Notestine from Explorer’s Design joins the show to talk about layout and visual design. These elements are really important to a game’s final presentation, so I felt like it was time to start thinking about those elements a bit before it was too late!

You can find Clayton’s work, templates, and articles on his website here.

Then, we talk about making mistakes in game design, and how I rediscovered the core elements of the Spooky Halloween game that make me excited to keep designing this game! 

Thanks for listening, and thank you again to Clayton for coming on the show! If you’d like to support the show, please share it with a friend and leave a review
