TABLETOP TALK - Third Floor Wars
By Craig Shipman
Do you love tabletop gaming? Do you unplug and gather friends to play roleplaying games, board games, or miniature games? This is your podcast.
Craig sits with designers, developers, artists, writers, and creators and learns how they approach their work. I try and understand their process, inspiration, and methods for crafting their creations.
These are not your typical boring interviews – Craig digs deep into the actual work and uncovers your favorite tabletop games' origins and the creative process that brought them to life.
