Customer Reviews
Great interviews
Among the better RPG interview shows out there. Craig sets a comfortable and inviting tone, and that gets good answers out of his guests. Listen to it.
Best Game Designer Interviews out there!
This podcast has an amazing selection of interesting tabletop RPG designers and Craig gets them to open up about their process in ways that I haven’t heard these creators do in other interviews. Truly excellent interviews!
