March 31, 2015 Bonus Episode: Behind The Metagame
With Antony away on his honeymoon, Michael holds up the fort with two special guests—Eric Zimmerman and John Sharp, two of the creators of The Metagame. Michael discusses the latest rendition of The Metagame with Eric and John, as well as queering the game, expansions, and how it all got started at the Game Developers' Conference a few years ago.
Special thanks to Eric and John for taking the time to chat with Michael on a Sunday morning. It's too bad Colleen Macklin (the third creator of The Metagame) couldn't be there, but she was there in spirit! For more on The Metagame visit http://metaga.me.
