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.

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.

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.

Richard Pullman goes in depth with best friend Ulysses regarding his  dieselpunk RPG where shotguns, mutations, and how to learn from the  evolution of D&D.

We also talk about...

...And more.

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.
