Robin Dews & John Stallard in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.

Robins Dews, the former editor of White Dwarf and later the Games Workshop Design Studio Manager, and John Stallard, former GW Sales Director and subsequent co-founder of Warlord Games, join me to talk about their recent project to document the history of Citadel and Games Workshop through conversations with key alumni from the storied past.

We chat about the business decisions, culture, and changes that helped to shape Citadel miniatures under Bryan Ansell and the Games Workshop that evolved under Tom Kirby, talking in a host of fascinating tales along the way!

Martin Wallace in conversation with Jordan Sorcery. The legendary game designer behind Brass, A Few Acres of Snow, Study in Emerald, Struggle of Empires, and Discworld: Ankh-Morpork joins me to talk about the process, business, and career of games design; the use of kickstarter for launching new games; and the projects he’s working on for the future.

Starting from a retail job in Games Workshop to working with Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone on a new Fighting Fantasy Adventures game, Wallace has designed countless classic games and regularly held the top spot on the BoardGameGeek 100 best games. 

We explore story-first games design, the challenges and successes of working in the games industry, and talk about some of the best board games ever made!
