Showtime has some really cool ideas so I hope you listen carefully!
The shutdown won't stop us from creating games, and that means this podcast must go on!
Richard Pullman and Everett Smith sit down to discuss his sci-fi RPG featuring three different planets to explore, each with their own tone, themes, choices, and lore.
Wow, another war game! Richard Pullman chats with MagicJuggler, a staple /gdg/ character who has one of the most interesting and exciting core ideas I've seen yet for a tabletop wargame. He has also mastered the art of finding technical issues with game rules, so he's a valuable commodity in the land of indie devs.
Enjoy the episode!
Lovely! Best friend Richard Pullman talks game design with Oswald and they get neck deep into the psychology of play, and the challenges of creating an awesome RPG campaign. Turns out it's pretty sophisticated stuff!
After this conversation, Oswald definitely got on the list of designers I like to listen to for problem solving. He may be an oldschool D&D Dungeon Master, but his approach to design feels invigorating.

This time Richard Pullman and best friend SSB get into...

Your best friend Richard Pullman returns with a new friend and a whole new set of questions. We're delving into his Fallout RPG system/hack, which seeks to improve and correct on previous attempts at capturing the Fallout glory.

What could be better than getting to know not one, but TWO new designers in the cozy company of Thade and Molly for four informative, pleasant hours? The answer: making sure both of the new designers are Australian!
Of all the roundtables we've done, this one is probably the most orderly and on-track from start to finish. I think you'll be able to follow along very well, even though its a whopping four hours long!
Aside from learning Steve and Dunce's games, we get into the following topics:
...And more. Join us for the chat, won't you?
The man, the myth, the legend. SSB is a veteran indie dev obsessed with guns and good design, but there's a lot more to his system than you might guess. This is what makes it so interesting to dig in to the methods and evolution of his epic modern combat system.
We discuss writing a book in Open Office vs. Lyx, the mentality needed to survive message board trolls, and the contrary problem of not being able to get enough feedback.

In this fantastic episode Richard Pullman and James Desborough -- also known as "Grim" -- walk through a crazy career, an aimless industry, and the need for bravery in creativity. Grim has more experience than anyone I know working for big companies, but also a raft of original games and content that push the limits of what you can explore in tabletop RPGs.

Game design is about catering to players through content and structure... and so is being a Game Master. In this episode Richard Pullman and GM Dave (The Man Behind the Screen) sit down to have a casual chat about his history and interest in game design, roleplaying, the psychology of RPG mechanics, and his plan to release system-agnostic adventure material for sale.

Boy-oh-boy! This is a strange one. Richard Pullman joins the uber nerd duo of Thade and his wife Molly to discuss their "game". But is it really a game, or just the world's most elaborate mnemonic device? You'll see.
It's not for sale, it's not for you, and it's not afraid to push the limits of what can be simulated in a tabletop RPG, so get ready for a game design podcast unlike anything you've heard before.
Richard Pullman goes in depth with best friend Ulysses regarding his dieselpunk RPG where shotguns, mutations, and how to learn from the evolution of D&D.
We also talk about...
...And more.

Richard Pullman talks with Syntarsus about his clever Pokémon RPG. We also touch on...
A good system tells you how to do things, a bad system tells you what you can do. The benefits of a complex RPG system. How oldschool RPGs can create more memorable and emergent stories than new school games trying to structure an epic story. Why GURPS might unironically be the best! And dishonest system promises.
It was fun and delved into a lot of fundamental questions of design and returns to the basic reasons why we need better systems than D&D, which is a topic that never gets old.

In this episode Richard Pullman talks to Tom Jensen of Ostfront Publishing about his projects and design process. It was an honor and pleasure to hear what he had to say, and I'm sure you'll find it valuable. Never underestimate the power of a catchy name again!
