Game Design w/ Richard Pullman episodes

  • Episode 040 - Grim (Actual F*cking Monsters RPG)

    In this fantastic episode Richard Pullman and James Desborough -- also known as "Grim" -- walk through a crazy career, an aimless industry, and the need for bravery in creativity. Grim has more experience than anyone I know working for big companies, but also a raft of original games and content that push the limits of what you can explore in tabletop RPGs.

    Visit the Postmortem Studios website for Grim's work and product updates!

  • Episode 039 - Man Behind The Screen, GM Dave

    Game design is about catering to players through content and structure... and so is being a Game Master. In this episode Richard Pullman and GM Dave (The Man Behind the Screen) sit down to have a casual chat about his history and interest in game design, roleplaying, the psychology of RPG mechanics, and his plan to release system-agnostic adventure material for sale.

  • Episode 006 - Thade & Molly (Antediluvian Chronicles RPG)

    Boy-oh-boy! This is a strange one. Richard Pullman joins the uber nerd  duo of Thade and his wife Molly to discuss their "game". But is it  really a game, or just the world's most elaborate mnemonic device?  You'll see.

    It's not for sale, it's not for you, and it's not afraid to push the limits of what can be simulated in a tabletop RPG, so get ready for a game design podcast unlike anything you've heard before.

    • Episode 004 - Syntarsus (Plug N Play Pokemon RPG)

      Richard Pullman talks with Syntarsus about his clever Pokémon RPG. We also touch on...

      A good system tells you how to do things, a bad system tells you what you can do. The benefits of a complex RPG system. How oldschool RPGs can create more memorable and emergent stories than new school games trying to structure an epic story. Why GURPS might unironically be the best! And dishonest system promises.

      It was fun and delved into a lot of fundamental questions of design and returns to the basic reasons why we need better systems than D&D, which is a topic that never gets old.

      In this episode Richard Pullman talks to Tom Jensen of Ostfront Publishing about his projects and design process. It was an honor and pleasure to hear what he had to say, and I'm sure you'll find it valuable. Never underestimate the power of a catchy name again!

    • Episode 002 - Jon Fox (Ordinary World RPG)
      Richard Pullman talks to his best friend Jon Fox about the trials and triumphs of developing Ordinary World, his self-described RPG toolbox. Jon and I get into the value of community, vision, and knowing how much weight to give the feedback you get.
      I think a lot of indie developers will relate with Mr. Fox.

    • 001 - Artificer (Misfortune RPG)
      Best friend of game designers, Richard Pullman, talks to Artificer about the core concept of his upcoming narrative-mechanic RPG Misfortune.
