Producing Fun is about what it really takes to get a tabletop game published: and the many different people involved in its journey from mind to table. It's hosted by me - James - and each episode I'll be talking to someone about their particular place in tabletop game industry. I’ll be asking them your questions, learning more about who they are and their unique perspective on what makes games great: Not only as clever designs but as thoughtfully crafted products and, even, works of art.
