Weird Games and Weirder People

W. F. Smith, also known as Prismatic Wasteland, is a blogger and game designer, author of Barkeep on the Borderlands, making Prismatic Wasteland RPG, and creator of many other amazing things! He comes to the show to talk weird!

Prismatic Wasteland, the blog, is one I've been visiting and coming back to for years, and it's been around for a long while. We even talk a little bit on the show about how the blog culture changed over time but is still on of the most reliable ways gamer and creators share their experiences and thoughts.

Barkeep on the Borderlands is a supplement he created collaborating with a team of other amazing creators which won a bunch of awards and explores the many weird and wonderful ways to subvert the tired "you start at a tavern fantasy trove". And it does that spetacularly.

In this chat we talked about how the weird can be whimsical as well, about the contrast and the mixing with the fantastical and the mundane, about how the RPG media is still new and full of things to explore. We talked about weird games, about story, about structure, about many insightful things.

So listen up and get weird with us!

Justine Jones is a self taught illustrator living in Philadelphia.  Her influences come from comic books, video games, mythology, and folklore. She has done work for Wizards of the Coast, Kobold Press, and many small publishers. She makes Magic the Gathering card pieces of art, and her unique style also appears on our award winning adventure Halls of the Blood King, and many other amazing creations.

I am fascinated by Justine's work. The attention to detail, the otherworldly and yet familiar figures. The dreamlike, mysterious and seductive pallete draws you in. I also had the luck to collaborate with her on Halls of the Blood King, and her art elevated the adventure to a whole new level.

In this chat we had a lot of fun talking about comics, other artists, process (or lack of one), routine, anxiety (yes, it is a special guest in this show), about video games, dreams and many other weird and wonderful things.

So listen up, and get weird with us!

Courtney Campbell is a game designer and artist, creator of the Hack & Slash blog, author of many great posts about gaming, and the game designer of many RPG books, including more recently Sinless, a new take on cyberpunk dystopias where the players are faced with really hard hitting questions.

I've been following Courtney's work from afar for a long while. I think he wrote some of the best OSR and adventure gaming posts out there, and I even have the zines he published compiling some of these. Courtney's new game raised a lot of questions that I would love to see more people trying to answer, or even trying to think about them.

In this chat we talked a lot about Sinless, dystopias, their inevitable downfall, mental health, games, art, writing, process, and a lot of other weird stuff we normally talk about in this show.

So listen up and get weird with us!

Alex Damaceno, also known as Gnarled Monster, is the creator of Beyond the Borderlands zine series, Archon Ruins, Dungeon Reavers, and a lot of more stuff! His art and cartography is known for its unique style and use of bright colors. And he is also a awesome friend, and cool person to hang with!

We met in person recently and had the best of times hanging out. So inviting him for an interview for the show was only natural. We talked art, creativity, process, how he came up with some of his creations, how he is in love with the act of creation itself, and a lot more.

We had a wonderfully weird time, and I hope you will too. So listen up, get weird with us!

John Wick is not only the legend who inspired a multi-millionaire Hollywood franchise, but he is also the legendary game designer of Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Orkworld!, Cat, Wield, and so many others! He is also famous for his writing and opinions he shares on his YouTube channel. We don't agree on a lot of things, but we agree to disagree and I love it!

In this chat we talked about D&D, it's many versions, whether if any of them is an RPG, we talk about how it is to be much harder on himself than on others, about movies and books that inspires him, about how professional criticism shouldn't exist.

We also talked about game design, elegance in rules, how he sees himself as a discordian. We talked about some really awesomely weird games. And we talked about Banners and his new projects!

It was really a fantastic episode! So listen up and get weird with us!

Matthew Orr is a TTRPG creator and co-owner of Wet Ink Games. He likes to read about history, about animals (especially cryptids), and he loves comics (but not superhero comics). He has an obsession with bleak 1970s sci-fi movies he can't quite explain. All of this seems to show up in his games. He makes games, publishes games, and help other do the same!

I recently had the honor and pleasure to collaborate with Wet Ink Games on a project and it was one of my favorite experiences ever! I, of course, jumped on the opportunity to invite him for an interview and we had a great chat! Oh, and he interviewed me too BTW! Check it out: https://youtu.be/sPzN0A1UQzc

In this interview we talked about Wet Ink Games, we talked about Jinagshi, which is getting reprinted and expanded with new scenarios (including one I wrote), we talked about his hair not being cut by other for 20 years, we talked about inspirations, routines, history, biology, and we talked about Narrative Voice in RPGs, which was super interesting!

So listen up, and get weird with us!

Stuff mentioned in the Episode:

Scott found his father's 1st Editon Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide at age 8 in 1983, and his path was set. He moved on from D&D to Car Wars, Gamma World, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Starfinder, both playing and game mastering, untill settling on Mörk Borg and its ilk during the pandemic. Now he is finding out the ups and downs of crowdfunding and self-publishing as he attempts to bring his own post-apocalyptic vision into the world with Wasteland Degenerates!

We talked about bugs, about game design, about post-apocalypse fiction and games. We chatted about how our boring normal lives intervene in our work, and how it somehow helps shape it.

Updating soon!

Alex Kobyashi is a passionate creator who seems to can't stop making games. He is the creator of The Black Sword Hack, Rats in the Walls, Extinction, Cursed!, and many other great games!

In this chat we talked about the many great things about being a full time game designer, and the many and things about being a full time game designer. Alex talks a lot about "being lazy" despite his impressive production, and how he values structure and routine to help him work.

We talk a lot about process, routines, his fascination with history and reality as a source of inspiration that is stronger and weirder than fiction. We also chatted about not taking notes, about the influences of the Soviet Union on his life and country, and a lot other weird and wonderful topics!

So listen up, and get weird with us!
