  1. Reckless A-Talk: Aaron Voigt (Video essayist, game designer, author)

    Reckless A-Talk: Aaron Voigt (Video essayist, game designer, author)

    Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are. This week we got to interview TTRPG video essayist, reviewer, writer, and author Aaron Voigt. Aaron is someone I had been up until now kind of tangentially appreciative of - his video essays and TTRPG reviews are some of my true favorites in the space. He brings so much of himself and his experiences to his work, and engages with games on both mechanical and emotional, thematic levels. We talk about his new book and associated TTRPG Detente for the Ravenous, which I got the pleasure to read through some of before the interview and is available RIGHT now over on Aaron’s Itch page. We also touched on keeping stories contained and painful, the impacts of reviewing indie games, when enough is enough, Pope Henry Kissinger releasing sin kaiju, exploring complex topics like real world history and religion in tabletop, and so much more. As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes. PLEASE go check it and all of Aaron’s great video essays, including a lot of familiar faces of Reckless A-Talk guests from the past. Thanks for listening!

    Reckless A-Talk: Spencer Campbell (Game Designer - Gila RPGs)

    Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are. I am as always your host GM Nathan, I use he/him pronouns, and this week I got to expand my mind and laugh a lot with renowned game designer Spencer Campbell of Gila RPGs! That name is possibly familiar to longtime Reckless A-Talk listeners, as he and his games have been listed as a huge inspirations for several of our guests. Spencer is a design whirlwind, and has put out several really diverse, unique, and award-winning games over the last few years. That includes the punchy LUMEN system and Creator Kit, HUNT a game about a doomed knightly order going on a final quest, the monster hunting game SLAYERS, and the solo souls-like game REAP. Seriously, that’s just a portion of what he’s written, and SO MANY of them take really novel approaches with what is fun about games. Sometimes there’s no dice, no health, loot pools, approaches instead of skills, all kinds of really good stuff that we get to talk about in this episode. Plus we talk a lot about the importance of connection in the TTRPG space, trying to protect your sanity online, his background in cognitive psychology and, as usual, tons more. AS OF THIS EPISODE his latest game LOOT all about fantastical item gathering, combat, exploration and base building is crowdfunding. I am SUPER excited to see that full release, which we get into during this chat. Links to that and everything we talked about are in the show notes, as always. If you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes. With that - I’ll see you next time!
