58 Jordan Dube
Jordan Dube is the owner & operator of Goosepoop Games! He is greatly involved with the community: running game meetups and conventions as executive director of his local game group in Portland, ME, performing clarinet in a swing band, writing video game review articles, and climbing rocks at the rock gym. Formerly a UX designer, programmer, sound engineer, and Army clarinetist, Jordan uses his diverse knowledge to create accessible and approachable games for players of all types. Connection and supporting others is Jordan’s passion and he uses Goosepoop Games to pursue these values.
I am always interested in people working on making the community better, more welcoming, more accessible, and who would imagine they are also seeking new ways to make games, and dabbling with themes like philosophy, meditation, mindfulness. So Jordan work was super interesting to me instantly!
In this episode we talked a lot about exact those interests, we exchanged a lot insights, jokes, and very deep personal things. It was amazing, it was fun, and very educational! I hope you love it too!
So listen up and get weird with us!

57 Harley Stroh
Harley Stroh, legendary RPG writer, Skate Punker, and an incredible Judge (or GM for the non-DCCers out there)! Author of moderns classics like Sailors of the Starless Sea, Doom of Savage Kings, Blades Against Death, Journey to the Center of Aereth, Tower of the Black Pearl, Peril on the Purple Planet, and more recently, the impressive The Music of the Spheres is Chaos, a massive boxed-set adventure with a spinning dungeon map! His work in the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG line is super inspiring, and his adventures are some of my favorites of all time!
I've been a fan of Harley since I bought my first printing of the limited edition gold skull DCC RPG that came with Doom of Savage Kings, a very pulpy, and open-ended adventure that set very high standards for what I would expect of adventure for now on. I played this adventure so many times, and continue to do so, and I am always impressed how different every time can be.
Anyway, in this chat we talked about many things, from how sneakily weird Harley actually is, how he tries to write amazing adventures just to keep up with the fantastical art created by Doug Kovacs, how he runs his finger over his keyboard while writing, and so many other weird and wonderful things.
I loved to have this chance to talk to him for almost 2 hours, it was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Listen up, and get weird with us!

56 Luke Stratton / Limithron
Luke Stratton, or Limithron as he is known throughout the seven seas of the internet, is an artist, game designer, producer, and so many other things. He is the creator of Pirate Borg, as well as Limithron's Guide to Naval Combat for 5th Edition D&D! He was with me on both Game On Expo and Gary Con, so we get to talk a little bit about those.
Luke and I had the chance to bond over the course of 2 weeks, as we both attended Game on Expo as Guest/Panalists, and went to Gary Con afterwards to relax among like minded gamers! I am very glad I spent that time with him and I am glad we could talk about that and many other things on the show.
We delved into his creative process, his effort to keep the passion for pirate stuff alive, the influences he had while working on Pirate Borg, other artists that inspire his way to work, and many other weird and wonderful things.
Listen up and get weird with us!

55 Denis McCarthy
Denis McCarthy has been illustrating and making stock art for indie games since 2016. He has work on multiple tiles in the Indie and OSR community, having a style characterized by an attention to history and architecture. He also sells a lot of stock art, which features in innumerable products, including my own!
I've met Denis in a trip I made to Gen Con one of those years ago while I spent some days in NYC before the convention. We talked about art, games, design, life, and everything else. I had the chance to do this another time since them, and well, in this episode as well.
Denis is not only an artist but also a scholar. He studies a lot and know what he is talking about, as you will hear in the episode. We talk about many of our favorite influences, Denis praised GURPS, he shares some meditation techniques. It was great. Very insightful guest!
So listen up, and let's get weird with Denis McCarthy!
Check out Denis' work!
