The Boardgame Interview Room: TanTrump in Kickstarter
November 26, 2019 16:46 - 1 hour - 91.9 MBTantrump is a protest political game designed by Mike Selinker and Liz Spain that tries to breach the gap between gaming and protesting like all good pieces of art should do. Tantrump is a game that is likely to offend and elate in equal measures and I do hope it will get a reaction in you. Either because it offends or makes you happy, it will have done part of its job. And if it entertains you as a game too, then all the better! This is the first time we do video interviews in the channel an...
The Hero's Journey - The RPG Interview Room
November 12, 2019 12:30 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBThe Hero’s Journey has been a love of mine for a long time. It is a tried and tested formula that renders good results. But do people use it to maximum effect? In this episode I spoke to Phil Harris, game designer and university lecturer on the Hero’s Journey, and we dig into the use of the Hero’s Journey as a framework more than a set formula. Hope you enjoy the show!
Relationships in games - The RPG Interview room
October 29, 2019 18:07 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBIn the last few weeks we have been chatting a lot in Facebook about relationships in games with a lot of people deciding they don’t want to have relationship in games because… erm… dunno… lots of reasons that make no sense to me, but hey… to each their own. Tim Korlewski, author and game designer of wargames and roleplaying games, asked me about it in Facebook and we decided to have a chat about it and see if we could make some interesting talking points about the subject. And here is the epi...
10 illnesses and conditions to use in your game: The RPG Room
October 23, 2019 15:52 - 17 minutes - 16.4 MBThis quick guide to 10 illnesses that could be used in your game to make things harder for your players in a longer term way, rather than a wound that you can heal in no time with your magic. Please help this channel subscribing to it and leaving a comment. Most of us have suffered from illnesses in the past and we know how terribly debilitating it can be. Sometimes we have to spend a little bit of time in hospital to get them treated. In this video I talk about how some of these could be us...
Game On Tabletop: The Interview room Podcast
October 16, 2019 13:20 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBGame On Tabletop is a fairly new crowdfunding platform that was born out of the desire to cater to the board and roleplaying games community. Is it worth considering? Considering that games have been a huge amount of the money that has gone through the Kickstarter doors, having a business that caters specifically for us, game backers and game creators sounds like a good idea to me. I spoke with Laura Hoffmann, spokesperson for the company and managed to ask her a whole bunch of questions abou...
Blades and Blasters. Interview with Seth Tomlinson
September 25, 2019 13:13 - 39 minutes - 36.5 MBBlades and Blasters is a book created by Seth Tomlinson that funded in Kickstarter in 2018 and in 2019 has seen the light. It mixes science fiction and fantasy. But does it do it well? As it happens, the book seems to be full of great ideas and with some 14 alien races, technology, weapons, starships and a bestiary, it could be a great addition to my game evenings. Enjoy the interview! Visit other G*M*S Magazine productions: Interviews: https://goo.gl/w5XrbS Review: https://goo.gl/hqx8HW...

Kings of War: The RPG Interview room
September 04, 2019 11:42 - 42 minutes - 39 MBKings of War is raging now in Kickstarter and should be funded by the time you hear this podcast. ¿Should you back it too? In this interview I go in a bit deeper with its author, Ennie winner Marc Langworthy and what the quick start rules misses. Aspects like character creation, magic, powers and advanced features of the rules system. Hope you enjoy the show! Visit the Kings of War Kickstarter here.

RPG Interview Room: Let's Play: Dungeons & Dragons Behind Bars
August 03, 2019 10:54 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBLet's Play: Dungeons & Dragons Behind Bars is a documentary by filmmaker Elizabeth de Kleer that takes a look at the inside of some jails in the USA and the effect that playing D&D has on some of the inmates. Truly hope you enjoy this one and please, take a look at the Kickstarter. It is for one of the best causes I have ever seen in the world of RPGs.
Monica and Andrew Marlowe: The RPG Interview Room Podcast
July 17, 2019 14:12 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBMonica and Andrew Marlowe have been in my radar for a very long time now. I have known them for years and their involvement in the world of RPGs has interested me. But who are they? Well… we are about to find out. From their involvement in RPG Superstar and the Marlowe House games in Twitch, they have been doing a fair amount of work to get RPGs a good name and create content. Monica and Andrew left me wishing podcast episodes could last hours! Hope you enjoy!
The RPG Interview Room: Chivalry & Sorcery - the Medieval Role Playing Game
July 09, 2019 15:31 - 42 minutes - 58.6 MBChivalry & Sorcery is a game that saw light of day around 40 years ago and some people decided to fall in love with it. ¿Enough to be at it around 40 years later? Well, this is indeed the case. When Steve Turner, from Britannia Game Design fell in love with Chivalry & Sorcery, he not just decided to play it, but also to keep at it for years and years and eventually buy the license so he could release more versions of the game and go to Kickstarter with the latest one. So I interviewed Steve T...
The RPG interview room: Rachel Ventura and Ultimate Kingdoms
June 18, 2019 15:44 - 1 hour - 50.6 MBRachel Ventura has been a part of Legendary Games for a considerable length of time and managed the business development. Bu that does that mean? With a successful Kickstarter on its way to publish Ultimate Kingdoms, a compilation of Ultimate books from the company’s catalogue, I wanted to talk to Rachel about the operation itself rather than just about the book. Unsurprisingly, she knows exactly what she is talking about and the interview is quite revealing! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
The RPG Interview room: Lou Agresta and Rone Barton do Grimmerspace
June 10, 2019 15:28 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBGrimmerspace has taken the RPG world by storm in a Kickstarter project that will be remembered for a long time. But why? Well, since I happen to know the Grimmerspace authors, Lou Agresta and Rone Barton, I asked them to come to the show and have a chat about the project and the game itself. I won’t take any more of your time. Please do take a look at the project and have a listen to the podcast. I sincerely hope you will enjoy it. This podcast was recorded for G*M*S Magazine.
The RPG Interview Room: Ultramodern 5 with Chris Dias
June 04, 2019 12:53 - 43 minutes - 39.4 MBUltramodern 5 is an evolution of a game that saw the light in 2016 and that now has funded successfully in Kickstarter for a new, bigger edition with more of everything. However, the initial version of this book got a Best Platinum Seller award in DriveThruRPG and it has some very good ratings and reviews, so it must be doing something right. Hope you enjoy the show!
The RPG Interview Room: Jeff Richard and character archetypes
May 22, 2019 16:38 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBIn terms of hours of play, I bet there are few people like Jeff Richards. Because the creative director for Chaosium exudes roleplaying games wherever he goes! And the thing is, you might think that Jeff just talks about Chaosium and Call of Cthulhu and Glorantha… but the topics we cover today are about character archetypes and how to use/modify them to suit your game. Hope you enjoy the show!
What videogames teach TTRPGs?
March 27, 2019 18:09 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBWhat can TTRPGs learn from video games? In the time TTRPGs have been alive, videogames have seen a huge deal of development, investment and advancement. What can they teach us, tabletop gamers? Hope you enjoy the show!
Marketing in RPGs with Ed Healy
January 29, 2019 07:50 - 1 hour - 57.6 MBMarketing in RPGs is a vast topic that I have spoken about a few times in the past. Now we have a proper expert to tell us some secrets! Ed Healy has been doing marketing in RPGs for a very long time now and his company has specialised in both marketing and logistics for companies that, being in a niche market like RPGs, have some very specific requirements. And that is what I wanted to talk to Ed about. Being a publisher in its starting stage, I find marketing and advertising a massive dea...
Joseph Carriker and representation in RPGs
December 26, 2018 11:23 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBJoseph Carriker has been writing games and working within LGBTQI+ activism for longer than most. ¿Does he have something to tell you? Well… yes. I have known Joe for a while now and, as well as knowing about his writing and line development for Blue Rose, I have known about his thinking and logic for a while, and every straight person should listen to what he has to say. Not just because he tends to nail it pretty much every time, but because he has a way to say things that work. If you want ...
Brendan Davis from Bedrock Games and House of Paper Shadows
December 13, 2018 09:39 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBBrendan Davis has been spearheading Bedrock games for a good number of years now. House of Paper Shadows is their latest instalment for the Wandering Heroes of Ogre Gate game. But what is it about? In this episode I talk to Brendan Davis about his recent release and how to tackle writing content from a different culture without falling into stereotypes and cultural pitfalls Hope you enjoy the show!
Jonny Hodgson and Bang and Twang!
November 19, 2018 20:31 - 1 hour - 55.9 MBJonny Hodgson has been a friend since I pretty much got into RPG media. Approachable as few, he has a stellar career that has recently seen some massive changes. What is he up to now? Hodgson is now doing something else. He has packed the art direction role he had in C7 and now he is making maps and designing games with his children and funding in Kickstarter. Why? Let’s find out!
Tekumel with Victor Jason Raymond
November 12, 2018 07:38 - 46 minutes - 42.8 MBTekumel is the product of the brilliant mind of professor M.A.R. Barker and one of the first RPG settings to come to light after the publication of D&D, so why isn’t it better know? If you have never heard about Tekumel and the Petal Throne before, this interview is for you. If you have… this interview is also for you!
Uncertain Scenery interview with Craig Birks
November 04, 2018 15:04 - 41 minutes - 38.2 MBUncertain Scenery is a small company that Craig Birks started a little while ago to create laser cut scenery for games. ¿What is that like? With a background in design, I delve into how these sort of scenarios are created and what the process is from start to finish and ask him a few questions about embarking into this massive endeavour that will hopefully bring some success.
Calidar with Bruce Heard
October 27, 2018 09:12 - 48 minutes - 44.9 MBCalidar is the masterful work from Mystara´s Creator, Bruce Heard and it is fantastic! The world of Calidar has been going for just a few years and its author, veteran designer Bruce Heard has already written four books with another one funded as I type on Kickstarter. But let’s hear it from its creator and why you should take a look at this setting and chip in! Thank you for listening.
Occult Philosophy with Robert Schwalb
October 25, 2018 11:13 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBSchwalb Entertainment has been producing some incredible content since Shadow of the Demon Lord. And keep coming up with more. Uncompromising, Swchalb Entertainment has released one of the most brutal and truly chaotic worlds with Shadow of the Demon Lord and the complete line of work by Robert Schwalb is just pure madness and genius. In this podcast Robert and I talk about the new venture for Schwalb Entertainment and what their next Kickstarter is going to be about, and I tell you this is g...
Children of the Fall with Gareth H. Graham – The RPG Interview Room
October 15, 2018 17:38 - 43 minutes - 39.8 MBChildren of the Fall is a post-apocalyptic roleplaying game from the very indie game design scene in South Africa by Gareth H. Graham. In Children of the Fall, the players play as the survivors of an apocalypse that has turned all the adults on the planet into evil, bloodthirsty savages known as The Fallen. The group will explore the world and the story that takes place as the players take turns to describe events and challenges. I get the chance to ask Gareth a few questions about the game a...
Chronicles of Future Earth with Sarah Newton
October 02, 2018 07:17 - 1 hour - 64.3 MBChronicles of Future Earth is a roleplaying game 20 years in the making that I had the honour of watching from the start. And now you’ll be lucky enough to enjoy too! The Kickstarter campaign Sarah has started for this game has already funded and a whole new line of work will be developed to illustrate this amazing new universe and allow everyone to enjoy it. Please join us in making this reality. I think this interview will give you all the reasons you could need to do so and I hope you enjo...
Mark Rein-Hagen and Vampire TM V5 controversy
September 18, 2018 04:15 - 1 hour - 66 MBEven before Mark Rein-Hagen re-joined White Wolf to work on the fifth edition of Vampire The Masquerade, the game was plagued with controversy. In this episode I wanted to talk to Mark about his experiences before, during and after working in this new version of the game. From his return to White Wolf to the role he has played in the new edition of the game, we also discuss “transgresiveness” and its legitimacy in a world where being transgressive is under a greater scrutiny than it was25 yea...
Endless Quest with Matt Forbeck: The RPG Interview Room
September 12, 2018 13:48 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MBMatt Forbeck is the New York Times best seller author who has just published four Endless Quest books based in D&D Forgotten Realms. Matt Forbeck has been writing professionally since 1989 and has a plethora of books on his back. Probably so many he would not be able to carry them all if he had one issue of each on his back for real. Now he has written four Endless Quest books (thus far) and I just had to find out more about them.

October 05, 2017 15:52 - 11 minutes - 15.4 MBThis podcast has been produced for www.gmsmagazine.com Help us by becoming a Patreon: https://goo.gl/EpSluL There are times when we need characters and considering LGBTQI+ characters simply scapes us. We just don’t think about it and we go on writing or otherwise designing what we like and know. And, although this is something controversial, if you don’t consider LGBTQI+ characters for your game, you will never be able to provide the best experience you can possibly design. In this podc...

Dear Some Straight Gamers - Pilot Episode
September 25, 2017 16:31 - 9 minutes - 8.43 MBAlthough tabletop gaming is a pretty inclusive and welcoming environment, there are still pockets of straight people who insist on erasing anyone who does not identify as heterosexual from games and even the hobby. This podcast is for you, Dear Some Straight Gamer. Like pretty much the rest of the world, this one is made specifically for you. Hopefully you will learn something.

RPG Interview Room - Working with IPs
July 26, 2017 09:14 - 36 minutes - 83.4 MBWorking with an IP can be a very challenging topic. To take something that has already been created and transform it into an RPG that does it justice is a tricky exercise that requires a deep knowledge of both the original IP and the RPG design process. Dave Chapman is one guy who knows a lot about that, since he was one of the responsible people to create Cubicle 7’s Dr. Who Roleplaying Game. He kindly agreed to come to the show to be interviewed and I gladly proceeded to do so. ¡Hope you en...
The RPG Interview Room - Jeff Richard from Chaosium
May 23, 2017 15:07 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBChaosium, a company that has been going on for longer than most, has brought some of the most emblematic and beloved franchises to the RPG world. Glorantha, RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu… all of them prolific lines that have been supported by many thousands in many languages over many years. And yet, the company has also gone through some very rough times in the last few years. So much so that a lot of people thought it would go under. However, it was rescued by a rather terrific group of people...
The RPG Room: James Bond, dilemmas and Klug, Chris Klug.
May 06, 2017 12:34 - 1 hour - 61.3 MBJames Bond RPG came out a very long time ago and, even though no longer published or popular, it is a very relevant game today. It is interesting that some games that have been out of print for a long time can, and indeed have some ideas that a vast amount of more modern games could learn from. Perhaps having ideas was easier all those years ago. Or simply the industry was more audacious than today. Or we pander to the “easy design” a bit too much. I don’t know. But the fact remains that when...
The RPG Room - What games have been good for the hobby?
April 26, 2017 09:37 - 37 minutes - 86.7 MBIn an attempt to break our record for the weirdest episode, Jim and I attempt to discuss what games have been good for the industry. A few weeks ago we chatted about what games were bad for the industry and a good number of them came up. Today we try to do the opposite with some very varying results… Also we spent a while watching some ski tyre jumping from Japan. That was really, really weird… https://youtu.be/f62Z8Ev9OXA
The RPG Interview Room: How to design encounters with Kevin Watson
April 18, 2017 18:02 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBVery often we find encounters during our adventures that are, quite frankly, appalling. Truly unsatisfying either because they are too hard, too easy, the monsters don’t really matter or, simply, it makes no sense. Designing encounters is a tad harder than it might appear, so I invited Kevin Watson, from Dark Naga Adventures, to come to the podcast, since he has designed more encounters and adventures than most and he knows his salt. Hope you enjoy the interview! You can find out more about D...
