Reckless A-Talk: Viditya Voleti - Game Designer (A Land Once Magic, Bloodbeam Badlands, Space Between Stars)


Listen Later

Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we got to talk to the amazing game designer and artistic person in general Viditya Voleti.

He is a game design educator who has been releasing games for several years now as both a prolific indie designer and freelancer for places like Paizo, Possum Creek Games, Evil Hat Productions, and tons more.

He is also a very fun, funny, and thoughtful former art student whose preferred genre of game appears to be “all of them.”

All this wrapped up into a really fascinating and inspirational and aspirational conversation about learning to fail, knowing who you are making games for, the concept of artistic studies in game design, and I think most crucially the attitude that when you make something, you’re always taking a step forward.

His latest game, A Land Once Magic, is a worldbuilding deck and conversation piece that is crowdfunding right now.

We have links to the crowdfunder and all the other things Viditya and I talk about in the show notes. As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.

With that - thanks for listening!
