Theory From the Closet

Here is my shortest interview ever. I spoke with Jeff Lower, one of the folks from the Ashcan Front at Gen Con. Jeff is one third of the Sons of Kryos and the creator of Giants. On his show their segments usually don’t go over 15 minutes, and that’s how this interview went also. This […]

We’re back. The site has been transferred to the new computer and as promised here is a new show. I sat down with Darren Watts, President of Hero Games at Gen Con. We talked about how Hero is designed as a very large toolkit, what the heck Indie means, and several Hero products. If you […]

3 weeks. Wow. I didn’t think I’ve been goofing with my computer that long. Here’s one with Paul, Danielle, and Matt the folks behind the Ashcan Front. I’ll do links and stuff later, but I need to take a quick nap and then head back to Geek.kon. clyde on Google+

Here’s the next of the Ashcan Front interviews. I talk with Chris Moore and Michael Lingner about their game, “Psi Run.” This one may be a little on the quiet side. We recorded it in Michael and Chris’s hotel room while Chris’s son was sleeping in the next room. Maybe more later… time for me […]

This is a bit of an off show. At Gen Con there was a podcasting booth. I volunteered to spend two separate hours manning the booth. I planned on recording both hours but all the available power outlets were taken on my first shift. My second shift was Saturday morning. I arrived early, set up […]

Here’s the second interview with an Ashcan Front contributer. This time we have Paul Tevis from Have Games Will Travel. We discuss his game, “A Penny For My Thoughts.” Some of the interesting things we talk about are; procedural rules, improv and how the game relates to it, and quite a few other things. clyde […]

This is the first of my interviews with the folks at the Ashcan Front booth from Gen Con. I spent a good portion of my Gen Con time trying to get all of the participants in the booth to record interviews with me. I came up short on that goal, much of the limiting factor […]

Here is the first of my Gen Con interviews. I had scheduled to record with James Brown, designer of Death’s Door, Brick Battles, and Blood and Bronze, on Wednesday night. We couldn’t find anywhere to record, so we did a commando recording in the lobby of my hotel. It gave me a chance to use […]

So this one everything was working fine with the microphones, but I accidentally recorded over the first two minutes. Fortunately it appears I got everything important. I spoke with Mike Miller creator of With Great Power, and Kat Miller who is working on a investigative crime drama RPG called Serial. We discussed both with Great […]

This time we have Thor Olavsrud, editor of Burning Wheel, Burning Empires, etc, talking to me about editing from the perspective of RPG’s. There’s quite a bit of static in the recording. Thor unfortunately was on the bad microphone, so his stuff had to be really boosted. More coming I swear… I’ve been busy. clyde […]
