Talk of the Table

Brian sits down with Elliot for a very special Talk of the Table about Elliot’s brand new game, To Feel Your Warmth. We discuss the origins of this vampire duet game, what makes it a true spiritual successor to The Time We Have, and why the door being open changes everything.

Talk of the Table is hosted by Elliot Davis and Brian Flaherty.

Brian and Elliot sit down with Rico Evangelho, CEO of hit point press, and Ethan Yen, co-designer of Fetch My Blade, the latest publication from Hit Point Press. We discuss the journey this game has taken from zine to hardcover book, how the game has grown and changed for the second edition, and how the partnership between Ethan and Hit Point Press made this possible.
