On this week's episode, I talk to Sidney Icarus, a game designer of, among other things, the scifi horror game, Decaying Orbit, published by Storybrewers Roleplaying, which won the 2023 ARPIA Game of the Year. But I first heard of them as the fantastic host of the now-concluded Hard Move, a wonderful podcast where every episode, Sidney and a guest analysed one move from a PbtA game.



Show Notes:

03:12 - RPG Descriptivist

14:49 - The "Who Says What When" Framework

22:06 - What is Action Paths?

32:04 - Analyzing Decaying Orbit using Action Paths

1:08:46 - Sidney's next game: The Most Dangerous Game

1:12:03 - Infectious Enthusiasm: Bump in the Dark

1:13:50 - Tyranny of Numbers

1:16:50 - RePlay

1:18:14 - All advice is advice for myself
