69 Fellipe da Silva
Fellipe is curious brazilian designer and illustrator. He had done a little bit of everything in design and enventually started to design its own RPG material and games where he tries to make than as light ans silly as possible. He is the creator of Forgotten Ballad, an adventure game inspired by the OSR and the Legend of Zelda series!
He is also developing The Way, a new weird take on fantasy adventure gaming that I am excited to see him develop in the open! In this chat we talked about this, about making games, about this constant drive to be creating things.
We also talked about parenthood, about trying to be the best people we can be, and how our interest, passions, and hobbies end up influence our game design process.
This was a wonderful episode and was very insightful! I hope you learn as much as I did! Listen up and get weird with us!

68 Joseph Goodman
Joseph Goodman runs Goodman Games. He has written a number of RPG titles, including DCC RPG, DragonMech, and many dungeon crawl adventures. His best work, though, is mentoring the amazing group of creators who have come to publish their work through Goodman Games.
Joseph is also well known within the DCC RPG community as the Dark Lord, but in a very dear way. I had the pleasure to work with Goodman Games a few times, but I've always been an admirer of not only their work with games, but especially in the way they ciultivate creativity and community.
In this chat we talk about many great topics, including game design, doing business as a game, creativity, nature as inspiration, the famous Appendix N, and parenthood.
This was a fantastic chat, Joseph is always very generous with his wisdom so I recommend you listen to this one closely!
So, listen up, and get weird with us!

Brian Colin has been working in the industry since his first exhibit in Gen Con's art show 2017. He is a sculptor, graphic designer, and product developer who is best known for Vast Grimm. Founder of Creature Creation, he is also the creator of many other weird things!
I remember the first time I saw Vast Grimes maw cover! What a cover. And Vast Grimm visuals continues to be super rad! Brian's writing, art and design mix up so well in this series, as he continues to create more and more adventures and supplements for this weirs heavy metal sci-fi RPG built on the chassis of Mörk Borg!
We chat about many cool things, such as his journey from comics to RPG creator. How the lesson he learned on the way helped shape his work. We talk about art, creativity, influences, mental health, and about the WEIRD! I loved it!
So listen up and get weird with us!

66 Tim Hutchings
Tim Hutchings is an award-winning artist and game designer best known for his game Thousand Year Old Vampire. He is also the creator of A Collection of Improving Exercises, Our Vacation, and many other games that explore the frontier of RPGs, games, and art. He's a soon-to-be-former university professor and closing up his art studio to focus on making games full time.
I love games that do things in very unique ways that tie well with their themes. That explore spaces that haven't been explored or that look at old things a very different angle. Tim's games do all of that! Combining that with his academic background and knowledge, I knew there could be a lot we could learn from him in this episode.
And that's what set out to do here, to explore a little bit of how Tim's process work, what inspires his work, what kind of weird things he is into and that kind of thins we love here.
This was a tremendous episode. Tim shared a lot of wisdom, and made quite a few great jokes! Enjoy it!

65 Lin Codega
Lin Codega is an entertainment journalist who co-founded Rascal--a worker-owned, alternative tabletop roleplaying game news outlet. They previously wrote for io9, Polygon, and MIT's Immerse magazine. They also make games, and a lot of other weirdly wonderful things we talk about in this episode!
The first time I met Linda as at Gen Con, and my friend Richard said I should meet them, talked about het work a bit and them I went to talk to Lin. She made a bunch of interesting questions and I answered them, but my autistic brain got the best of me and I didn't ask anything back!
Well, on this episode I try to rectify that talk to Lin about a lot of interesting topics, ranging from punk culture, the important of community, how our unfinished projects are not failures, but lessons we learned along the way, and a lot more!
This is a short episode, and I do pride myself of longer and deeper episodes, but Linda managed to pack a lot in this short interview and I am sure you will love it as much as I did.
Listen up and get weird with us!

64 JP Coovert
JP Coovert writes and illustrates whimsical TTRPG zines every month. He also makes videos that teach and encourage creators to make cool stuff for their tabletop roleplaying games. He creates complete games, one-shot adventures (some that can be strung for an campaign, others thematically to each game), toolkits, guides, and so many other wonderful things.
I honestly think JP's Patreon is one of the best bangs for your buck in the entire industry. He mixtures creative writing, good game design, whimsical ideas, wonderful illustrations, in a portable and affordable format. What do you want more? And it's all pretty much system neutral and easy to adapt to your favorite game. And if not, he has a bunch of his own games you can play with ease.
I loved hanging out with him again (we hung out at Gen Con 2023). We talked about his work, his constant output of great stuff, his hobbies besides RPGs, making art, comics, writing, and so much more.
It was a truly inspiring chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
So listen up, and get weird with us!
