Will Munn is the award-nominated and bestselling creator of Arium, the worldbuilding RPG. He runs the Adept Icarus game design studio and has collaborated on RPGs such as Cold Shadows, Tiny Frontiers, and Zorro, the Roleplaying Game. Willalso serves as a publisher for multiple award-winning and bestselling game designers. All four continental US timezones have been his home, and he'd like to add to the list.


I met Will Munn through our mutual friend and kind of mutual mentor, Alan Bahr, from Gallant Knight Games. And I immediately saw how Will is a focused and very creative person. I had the great opportunity to work with him on Arium, collaborating with a few random tables, and I am so grateful for that.


On this chat we talked about many things, including how is it being a father of 4, how he has this unique way of working collaboratively with his team, how RPGs are all about exploring the weird in a safe way, how life is always changing and how sometimes we just have to wait to see where it takes us (and often it's to a batter place).


We talk about games too of course, especially Arium and Cyan Starlight, a new project he is developing with Alan Bahr, which touches on very emotional and unique themes.


We had a great chat. We go deep, and we get personal. I hope you enjoy it.


Let's get weird with Will Munn.
