    The Fires of Chaterra (Play Session, Part 1)

    S02E15 - I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Cezar Capacle, a Brazilian designer with a flare for solo and/or gmless, tabletop rpgs. Most of his games are light on rules and heavy on immersion. He’s an incredibly innovative designer, and a talented improvisational role-player… And I consider myself a Superfan. Cezar is currently hosting a game design jam for games built with his Push rpg system, and to celebrate that, Cezar and I got together to design a game together and record the process. The result of that design session was The Fires of Chaterra. If you would like to see the design process, you can head over to the YouTube channel. Just search Instadeath Podcast on Youtube, or click the link in the show notes. In this and the next episode of the podcast, Cezar and I got back together to record an actual play to show the game in action. What your about to hear is a fully improved actual play session of the game, and I’m proud both of how the game turned out, and the tale that Cezar and I wove together with it. So relax and enjoy, The Fires of Chaterra… Cezar's Twitter: http://twitter.com/capacle Cezar's Itch: https://capacle.itch.io Watch it Designed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWz2OBh6EGE&t=1812s Get the Game: https://instadeath.itch.io/chaterra

    Learning from a failed Kickstarter - A discussion with Jeremy Morgan of Long Dog Games (Pericle)

    S02E10 - We're back with Jeremy Morgan from Long Dog Games, and today we're going to get into some of the history of Pericle, including their first attempt at Kickstarter and how that's taken them to today, as they're launching their new campaign for Pericle: Gathering Darkness. Jeremy said of their first campaign "We're a bunch of game geeks...Lifelong lovers of games. We're authors, we're artists, we are game creators. The one key thing that was missing is nobody on the team really had any knowledge of crowdfunding at all. We didn't have advertising knowledge. And so what we saw in our first Kickstarter was the people who were with us were like stoked for this game. They thought that  it's a really great idea; this is pushing the boundaries of tabletop RPGs. But our problem was that we spent about $4,000 total in ads and anybody listening, who knows anything about that knows that that's just not enough to do hardly anything with." Pericle: Gathering Darkness is on Kickstarter from March 9th - April 9th, 2022. https://www.periclethegame.com
