Love your work and love the podcast dude. Glad you brought on Susan - One of the few that's actually actively trying to get new blood into the field. If you're ever able to get in Anna Megill or Darby McDevitt, I'd have to send you a beer... Or just take you for one if you're ever in Malaga :)

The cool thing is that imagination has no limits. The idea of ​​a warrior on a war cat is great, but the idea of ​​the guy telling it is at least as great - precisely, sensibly, and completely sober. I like talking to Jason because he respects the laws of the imaginary world and treats it with the same seriousness as the real one.

I need to check her art out

I thought that was Charles Manson on the thumbnail. Now that would be an unexected NPC!

Nice video, and nice channel. You just earned a subscriber. You have all the marks of a great channel, hope to see more interviews like this.

I really like Pathfinder, it has been my favorite system so far. I started with AD&D 2nd and switched to 3.5, then to Pathfinder and I've been playing the system since. I tried some other systems as a player, but I only GM Pathfinder. I love the tactical complexity of the system, me and my friends do martial arts/contact sports and this systems makes the most sense for us.

I'm very happy to learn that you also put these up on TH-cam-thanks!

Yeah I just found the new channel I am going to binge watch 😊

Bro i thought that was Michael

Thanks Ruty!

"sci fi fiction" wtf was i talking about lol

Oh, foo... I said "setting" when I meant "structure" when I went off about types of genre. Silly me. This was all a ton of fun, anyway. Thanks again for allowing me to run on. :)

What did you think of this episode? Are you heading to Gen Con this year?

Lovely interview and great production!

Matt Forbeck is one of my favorites!

I think Scott was thinking of Jenny Nicholson when he mentioned a youtuber who has videos on Evermore Park and the Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser experience.

Vince really is a good speaker/communicator. Nice stuff.

Great video!!

I agree that progression in a game needs to feel earned, but there is one exception if there is any sort of building mechanic, for me at least. When I want to learn the system and build spectacular sites. Here I have no qualms in using console commands to spawn building materials. At this point its only about the building.

Brilliant interview! What a great guy. Respect for Terry Pratchett, Lao Tze, and Hardcore Histories all coming up within a ten minute window..

50:38 “What do game designers / creatives all have in common?”

43:00 “What do you see the future of games looking like?”

Sorry if this is a silly question, but where are the Season One episodes available to watch/listen?

This podcast was brilliant. Thoughtful questions and great listening from the host, and clearly a brilliant, thoughtful, and creative mind from Alex. Great insights for storytelling, psychology and just some life inspiration. Thank you so much! I hope you get more subscribers soon. This is a lovely project.

GURPS!!!

Chris is one of my Favorite Authors!

Bro looks like Sean Evans from Hot Wings.

Wow good stuff

i remember when vince brought a character of person sized boba into the world. it was a cursed/blessed day. also yeye pixelcircus

Very Well Said!👌

How have you used the lenses of game design in the past?

Let me know your thoughts on this episode and the new format in general. Thanks!

Who would you like to hear from in Season Two?
