Rafael Balbi is a Artist, Graphic Designer, Game Designer and Podcaster from Brazil who digs into game design theory in TTRPGs, dynamics of play and gaming systems. Creator of the Oil Fantasy playstyle and lead of a popular hexcrawling westmarches campaign called Biergotten, using a d&d b/x retroclone.

Me and Rafael are long time friends, we had a blog together for a while, we wrote an Adventure for DCC RPG Brazilian edition, and we just love hanging out and talking about games.

In this episode we talked a lot about Game Design theory, we disagree a little, and agree a lot too. We also talked about how is the TTRPG community down here in Brazil, we mentioned some of our problems, some of our good stuff. We also discussed some of his projects, like the incredible podcast and his deeply researched and playtested Hexcrawl focused RPG.

It was a weirdly wonderful chat, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

So listen up and get weird with us!
