Theory From the Closet

How many times can I get Alexander to say, “It’s a great pleasure to be here Clyde?” Never enough. Notes to come…. No. Really. clyde on Google+

Man did I mess up at Origins. More about that later. Hopefully this sounds decent. It starts with some crunch and munch. I got Luke right before the fabled Burning Wheel game where he was too busy lopping off player character’s heads to collect up his Origins award. So I didn’t get to ask him […]

This is actually the last of my Origins interviews, but it’s the one I screwed up on the least. This means it was the easiest to edit, and I’ve got a wedding party to go to in another state this weekend. Fred and I discuss some of Spirit of the Century’s design choices, the OGL, […]

This is the last of the Forge Midwest interviews. Soon we’ll be back to listening to my short podcasts featuring only my nasal vocal tones, in stereo! Until then enjoy this interview with Ron Edwards. It’s the longest yet, and the only one where I didn’t get completely through my pitiful list of questions. We […]

We talk mainly about his games, especially Death’s Door. I found it especially interesting to see how well all of his mechanics have been considered. We also discussed […]

This is the second of the interviews I made at Forge Midwest. I interviewed Luke Crane, and we discuss his games Burning Wheel, and Burning Empires, people with silly tattoo’s, the pain of the creative process, his game Under a Serpent Sun, it’s theme of suicide, and many other things. Also Luke states that Robin […]

I went to the Forge Midwest meet up this Weekend in Chicago, Illinois. I did some interviews while I was there and this is the first of those. Paul Czege discusses many things with me from the Ashcan Front booth both he and Matt Synder are organizing for Gen Con, to inner meaning of games, […]
