Theory From the Closet

This is the last of my Origins interviews. This interview is with Andrea Sfiligoi, creator of Song of Blades and Heroes, which was an Origins award nominee. It came about due to Paul Czege’s sharp eye as we were looking at the Origins awards nominees. Paul pointed out that one of the minatures games didn’t […]

This is another interview recorded at Origins. I talk to Thor Olavsrud about editing again, but this time he’s not in a spaceship. It’s amazing to me right now how much I have learned since last year via the method know as the hard way. Anyway, We cover even more material than last year by […]

Not much to say about this show. I talk about how I’ve been thinking about creating a forum for this site, and what those thoughts are exactly. Then I talk about immersion and how it’s more than most people think it is. clyde on Google+

At Origins I interviewed Peter Adkison the C.E.O. of Hidden City Games, and Gen Con. If I sound more stupid than normal it’s because I was operating without notes. Note to self, do everything in Google Docs. Although I found one redemption in that Spectromancer and Dragon Horde are listed as products on the Hidden […]

I was recently on Stabbing Contest again. I had contacted Ogre because there were some things I wanted to talk about publicly but didn’t feel Theory From the Closet was the appropriate vehicle. We talked about how not letting girls in the group doesn’t always equal misogny, the ethics of podcasts and money, how roleplaying […]

Here’s the second, or third interview I did at Forge Midwest. This is with the other creator of Universalis, Ralph Mazza. We talk about Universalis, Robots and Rapiers, plus Blood Red Sands. We also discuss how we believe that folks aren’t paying enough attention to covering who gets to make decisions in a lot of […]

So this week I cover Exploration. Exploration is the level of the big model that is synonymous with Shared Imaginary Space. It’s made out of character, setting, color, situation, and system. clyde on Google+

This is the first of the RPG recordings I made at Forge Midwest. I only made two, but I got to play some games and it was sweet. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to talk to Mike since last year but have kept dropping the ball. We discuss why you can’t reward Simulationism, the game he […]

This show is out of order. Show035 isn’t done yet and will be out later this week. Why don’t you just make this show035, Clyde? Good question, Clyde. It was already done which means the id3 tags were already made and I didn’t want to go back and take the time to change them. Anyway…. […]

This show, while not a masterpiece, is at least an entry level work to gain access into the guild of sound editing. If you could hear the original and see the tiny flatline of a sound file I had to work with you would be amazed. Anyway, I worked really hard on it. You might […]
