[insert quest here‪]‬ Raymond

Recently Ray got to sit down with Xavier Ho, the main organiser for the Pride at Play exhibition back in 2023. It was a short retrospective chat about the queer games exhibition, and what went into creating such wonderful event.

We hope you enjoy this episode. You can find out more about Pride at Play by following this link: https://prideatplay.org/

This month Ray got the chance to chat with Logan, a game maker from down Melbourne way. We've followed Logan's work for a while and have found it to be unique and inspiring in the way he experiments with the art form. It was great to finally get to sit down an chat with Logan about game design and his work.

Content Warning for this episode, we will be talking about revolutionary struggle.

This month we got to chat with an amazing game maker out of the states Basheer Ghouse. Basheer has done a lot of consulting work in the industry, including for giants like Wizard's of the Coast and Paizo. Now he's launching his own game, Guns Blazing.

We talked about the games anti-colonial roots, it's connection to Islamic traditions and influence, as well as gushing about revolution.

If you like what you here, the game is live on Kickstarter till the 28/04/2023. Get it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gunsblazing/guns-blazing

Solo But Not Alone is an amazing charity bundle that happens every years.
Game devs donate their Solo RPGs to benefit Jaspers Games Day, a charity fighting to improve mental health for young people. The bundle is packed full of RPGs you can play on your own, across a myriad of genres and themes. We were very fortunate to have a chat with the person that put it all together, Cat of Peach Garden Games.

If you'd like to get the bundle for yourself, you can find it on itch: https://itch.io/b/1692/solo-but-not-alone-3

Back in 2021 we were fortunate enough to talk with Sin and Pam about their game Navathem's End. Now we're catching up again because it's going to print!

We discuss all the challenges and excitement around finding a physical publisher for a game that's already be released digitally. As well as discussing the work that went into game previously, and what Sin and Pam have been up to since last we spoke.

The first of our interviews for 2023, and hopefully many more ahead.

This month I had the pleasure of talking to Nem who you may also know as Sandy Pug. She has done a lot of work supporting others and helping them get their games published, but also makes her own games too.

HELLPIERCERS is their next big project, a tactical RPG about posthuman demi-gods launching an invasion of hell to free the damned. Because no crime is so great as to justify eternal torture.

HELLPIERCERS is coming to kickstarter later this year, be sure to follow the campaign so you don't miss it's launch. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sandypuggames/hellpiercers-tactical-harrowing-action
