  • Episode 99 - Rita Orlov of Post Curious, creator of The Tale of Ord

    Rita Orlov is responsible for one of the most ambitious and completely unique tabletop gaming-narrative-experience-adventure-mystery-thingies I’ve ever played. While it’s a struggle to define exactly what to call this new genre of gaming, it’s easy to say that The Tale of Ord is amazing, and after finishing it I could not wait to talk with the mastermind behind it. We talk puzzle design, inspirations, the struggle to balance difficulty, and the manufacturing processes of this amazing thing. If you don’t know what The Tale of Ord is, you can check out our spoiler free reviews of chapters 1 and 2, then 3 and 4, in the links below.

  • Episode 98 - Jonathan Weaver talks providence, Rising Khan, and Gameweaver Games
    Jonathan Weaver is relatively new to the design scene, but he’s recently began the journey from creative daydreaming to pitching games and self publishing. We talk about what has helped him really get a foot hold, how he stays level headed, what makes a good title, and how to be a Christian and make board games, without making distinctly Christian board games.

  • Episode 97 - Andy "The Game Maker" Mazeika, with guest host Andrew Birkett
    On Andrew Birkett’s premiere as a guest host on TCbH, he talks with the lovely Andy Mazeika all about game design, artwork, networking, and kickstarter. This casual conversation is the exact type of insider stuff that we wanted to capture by inviting guests to come on to the show, and we are so glad that Andrew could take some time away from other Atheris Entertainment duties to record this episode.
