Theory From the Closet

I talked with Paul Czege in this Jams length shorts, about his explorations of alternates to Gen Con that might be useful for the crazy unknown designers out in the wilderness. Perhaps it might be helpful to uncrazy unknown designers, uncrazy known designers, and crazy known designers. It arose from this post. clyde on Google+

I interviewed Mike Mearls about what the Essentials edition means for D&D 4E. This is that interview. Thanks to @ajgaming, @renatoram, and @bg_josh from Twitter. Also 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction for their Episode 54, which got me to reach out to Mike, and Wizards of the Coast. Gabe Arcade joins the Brotherhood. This […]

Show061: Interview with Keith Senkowski and Matt Synder This is the last of my Gen Con interviews. It was the second chronologically; occurring Friday morning. I’ll be interested to see how it’s received. We talked about Marketing. Marketing versus Artistic merit, and how it is likely perceived in the Forgie / Story-games / Indie scene. […]

I spent so much time trying to fix the sound on this one… at least 24 hours total. It either can’t be done well, or is beyond my ability. Which sucks as this was the interview I was most excited about, from Gen Con. Major David Wesely, Ret., is the guy who Dave Arneson credits […]

Text later, sound-file… now. clyde on Google+

Here’s an interview I did with Robert Bohl a few weeks ago. I think the Skype interviews are really improving, there seems to be much less of the falling in and out that used to occur when using Skype. In this show we talk about; Misspent Youth, defeating blank page syndrome, mechanizing fun, “my guy” […]

I did an interview with Michael S. Miller via Skype tonight. We discussed a blog post he made some time back, and Serial: Homicide Unit, which he created with his wife Kat Miller. Some additional stuff, courtesy of Mike. Ron Edwards post about main stream games. No Anthology Press. clyde on Google+

This is a long show, about Two hours and Twenty minutes. It served as a way for me to have my Gen Con talk with Ryan, as I didn’t have that opportunity this year. We talk about reincorporation, niche protection, and what a Roleplaying game is. Part of this show is a follow up to […]

Man this was difficult. Alexander talked to me about discussing homosexuality in RPG’s at least two years. Gen Con 2008, we got together twice and talked, but I somehow lost, or destroyed both recordings accidentally. So that’s what brings us to sitting down to talk via Skype, because I didn’t end up doing any recordings […]

Holy wow! This is from Gen Con 2008 and I thought it was lost. Well it was lost, but now it’s found. It’s a bit rambly, I didn’t have an outline which was par for the course for 2008. As always this post is the last thing I do, and I’m cranky, and want to […]
