    Jennifer Kretchmer: Making TTRPGs Accessible to Everyone | Interview

    This episode I'm joined by Jennifer Kretchmer. She's worked with all the usual suspects in the TTRPG business, but the MCDM community might know her from the 10 Candles video on Matt's channel, and more recently as the accessibility consultant on Draw Steel. The work she did on Draw Steel, actually broke new ground in the field of art descriptions.

    Tom Bloom: Looking Over the Shoulder at D&D | Interview

    Tom Bloom is the designer of Lancer RPG, author of Kill Six Billion Demons, and self-proclaimed 4e sicko. Tom made some comments about Draw Steel on Bluesky, and I thought it would be interesting to hear his thoughts on Draw Steel, as a designer of a well-liked tactical RPG. We also talk about games not appologizing for their design, how testing makes games better, and how Draw Steel is not appealing game.
