88 Reynaldo Madrinan - Break!! RPG
mercredi 4 septembre 2024 • Duration 01:37:43
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.
Check out Reynaldo's links!

78 Matthew Orr (Wet Ink Games)
Episode 78
mardi 2 juillet 2024 • Duration 01:58:12
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!
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.

71 Jason Morningstar
Episode 71
mercredi 5 juin 2024 • Duration 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...
Let's get weird with Jason Morningstar!
