John and special guest Ron Lundeen discuss some of the possible challenges associated with developing Starfinder 2.0.

Ron Lundeen is an employee of Wizards of the Coast, and the opinions he expresses are his own.

In episode 70 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with David Diaz about his game Fossilis published by KTBG (Kids Table Board Games). The game was initially designed with his son in mind mixed with a personal love of dinosaurs. It quickly developed into a 3-D tile pushing archeology game with set-collecting different dinos and bones. The game started as a lighter kids game then once signed, it was developed into the game you see today at conventions!
