74 Pawel Klimczak
Pawel Klimczak is the game designer and a publisher of Slav Borg, a Post-Soviet, Semi-Fantasy Role-Playing Game. He is also a journalist and a musician interested in the intersection of the social conditions and art.
I immediately backed Slav Borg when I saw it on Kickstarter. It had cool looking post-apocalyptic cars. It was inspired by Mörk Borg, an incredible game I love, and it drew from a topic that interests me a lot, which is the the culture from other countries that did experience socialism and now live under something else. And this is one of the themes explored in the book as well.
In this chat we talked about many interesting topics which include all the origin story of Slav Borg, the love/hate relationship Pawel has with cars, how he loves bikes, art, process, creativity, mental health, influences and all sorts of weirdness. It was very cool and enlightening.
So listen up and get weird with us!

72 Jeremy Pillopow (Black Magic Craft)
Jeremy Pillipow is a Canadian hobby YouTuber, artist, and game designer. His YouTube channel is full of tutorials on how to craft terrain, and many other things too, as Jeremy learns in public, sharing lessons, mistakes and, more importantly, constantly encouragement and quite a bit of wisdom.
Jeremy also recently published a Skirmish game inspired by TTRPG as well called Idols of Torment, and we talk a bit about the game, and how RPGs influence his work.
The episode main themes are crafting, making mistakes, making do with what you have and a lot of hand on wisdom that works perfectly for making terrain and objects, but can be also applied to game design, and other forms of art as well.
It was a very cool episode and I learned a lot from Jeremy. I hope you do dot.

71 Jason Morningstar
Jason Morningstar is perhaps the iconic Indie RPG Game Designer in my mind. He is the legendary creator of Fiasco, one of my favorite games of all time, which continues to inspire me to this very day. He also created many other masterpieces like Night Witches, Durance, Skeletons and many others. He is also an educator, and, more importantly, he is generous, kind, and supportive with other in our community.
This chat was only supposed to last for 1 hour but we managed to stretch it to a little over 1 hours and a half and I with we could have gone for another 2 hours, but I had to go. Good news is Jason enjoyed the chat and is willing to come back!
We talked about process, art, creativity, curiosity, the constant impulse to find novelty, the search of the weirdness in the mundane. We talked about other games, creators, and art that inspires us. Jason also shared lots of stories and pieces of wisdom we can all learn from, which I am always seeking.
This is one of my favorite episodes. I am a big fan of Jason's work. It was an honor to talk to him about it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did so...
Let's get weird with Jason Morningstar!

70 Goblin Archives
Goblin Archives is a game designer and educator, creator of Liminal Horror, and fomenter of the fantastic (and horrific in a good "horror is cool" kinda way) community of players and creators around it. He thrives on collaborative work, and in this episode this becomes a theme that we explore deeply.
Liminal Horror is a fantastic gem of a game of Investigative Horror that uses the framework from Cairn and provides it's on set of tools and structures to create very instigating scenarios. This fostered a dedicated community of creators and a steady flow of modules and supplements that keep the game going and always full of ideas.
We talked about many great topics involving game design, mental health, creativity, inspiration, gaming, weird and exciting experiences. It was truly a great episode.
So listen up and get weird with us!

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!
