89 Trevor Stamper
Trevor Stamper—Trevor has had aspirations of being a Not-Quite-So-Dark Master for numerous years, tormenting players in home campaigns on at least two continents. At the age of 10, Trevor was launched into an AD&D game with his friends on Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. But once he moved to England, he lost touch with the game and explored other classics—Indiana Jones, Twilight 2000, Gangbusters, Traveller 2300—until Joel Phillips reintroduced him to D&D BECMI style when he was 15. From there it has been a life-long passion for gaming and creating things other players can enjoy. Trevor has published before in minor ways—a few articles in the now defunct ENWorld Journal, and some really minor contributions when Kobold Press was doing Open Design. He has also extensively playtested material for almost thirty years—starting with Werewolf first edition for White Wolf, to most recently a plethora of Fantasy Flight Games' offerings in the Warhammer 40K and Star Wars ranges. After over 389 Kickstarters as a backer, this is his eleventh one as a creator!

83 WF Smith (Prismatic Wasteland)
W. F. Smith, also known as Prismatic Wasteland, is a blogger and game designer, author of Barkeep on the Borderlands, making Prismatic Wasteland RPG, and creator of many other amazing things! He comes to the show to talk weird!
Prismatic Wasteland, the blog, is one I've been visiting and coming back to for years, and it's been around for a long while. We even talk a little bit on the show about how the blog culture changed over time but is still on of the most reliable ways gamer and creators share their experiences and thoughts.
Barkeep on the Borderlands is a supplement he created collaborating with a team of other amazing creators which won a bunch of awards and explores the many weird and wonderful ways to subvert the tired "you start at a tavern fantasy trove". And it does that spetacularly.
In this chat we talked about how the weird can be whimsical as well, about the contrast and the mixing with the fantastical and the mundane, about how the RPG media is still new and full of things to explore. We talked about weird games, about story, about structure, about many insightful things.
So listen up and get weird with us!

82 Justine Jones
Justine Jones is a self taught illustrator living in Philadelphia. Her influences come from comic books, video games, mythology, and folklore. She has done work for Wizards of the Coast, Kobold Press, and many small publishers. She makes Magic the Gathering card pieces of art, and her unique style also appears on our award winning adventure Halls of the Blood King, and many other amazing creations.
I am fascinated by Justine's work. The attention to detail, the otherworldly and yet familiar figures. The dreamlike, mysterious and seductive pallete draws you in. I also had the luck to collaborate with her on Halls of the Blood King, and her art elevated the adventure to a whole new level.
In this chat we had a lot of fun talking about comics, other artists, process (or lack of one), routine, anxiety (yes, it is a special guest in this show), about video games, dreams and many other weird and wonderful things.
So listen up, and get weird with us!

81 Courtney Campbell
Courtney Campbell is a game designer and artist, creator of the Hack & Slash blog, author of many great posts about gaming, and the game designer of many RPG books, including more recently Sinless, a new take on cyberpunk dystopias where the players are faced with really hard hitting questions.
I've been following Courtney's work from afar for a long while. I think he wrote some of the best OSR and adventure gaming posts out there, and I even have the zines he published compiling some of these. Courtney's new game raised a lot of questions that I would love to see more people trying to answer, or even trying to think about them.
In this chat we talked a lot about Sinless, dystopias, their inevitable downfall, mental health, games, art, writing, process, and a lot of other weird stuff we normally talk about in this show.
So listen up and get weird with us!

79 John Wick
John Wick is not only the legend who inspired a multi-millionaire Hollywood franchise, but he is also the legendary game designer of Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea, Orkworld!, Cat, Wield, and so many others! He is also famous for his writing and opinions he shares on his YouTube channel. We don't agree on a lot of things, but we agree to disagree and I love it!
In this chat we talked about D&D, it's many versions, whether if any of them is an RPG, we talk about how it is to be much harder on himself than on others, about movies and books that inspires him, about how professional criticism shouldn't exist.
We also talked about game design, elegance in rules, how he sees himself as a discordian. We talked about some really awesomely weird games. And we talked about Banners and his new projects!
It was really a fantastic episode! So listen up and get weird with us!

78 Matthew Orr (Wet Ink Games)
Matthew Orr is a TTRPG creator and co-owner of Wet Ink Games. He likes to read about history, about animals (especially cryptids), and he loves comics (but not superhero comics). He has an obsession with bleak 1970s sci-fi movies he can't quite explain. All of this seems to show up in his games. He makes games, publishes games, and help other do the same!
I recently had the honor and pleasure to collaborate with Wet Ink Games on a project and it was one of my favorite experiences ever! I, of course, jumped on the opportunity to invite him for an interview and we had a great chat! Oh, and he interviewed me too BTW! Check it out: https://youtu.be/sPzN0A1UQzc
In this interview we talked about Wet Ink Games, we talked about Jinagshi, which is getting reprinted and expanded with new scenarios (including one I wrote), we talked about his hair not being cut by other for 20 years, we talked about inspirations, routines, history, biology, and we talked about Narrative Voice in RPGs, which was super interesting!
So listen up, and get weird with us!

He is the legendary creator of Fiasco, one of my favorite games of all time, which continues to inspire me to this very day. He also created many other masterpieces like Night Witches, Durance, Skeletons and many others. He is also an educator, and, more importantly, he is generous, kind, and supportive with other in our community.
This chat was only supposed to last for 1 hour but we managed to stretch it to a little over 1 hours and a half and I with we could have gone for another 2 hours, but I had to go. Good news is Jason enjoyed the chat and is willing to come back!
We talked about process, art, creativity, curiosity, the constant impulse to find novelty, the search of the weirdness in the mundane. We talked about other games, creators, and art that inspires us. Jason also shared lots of stories and pieces of wisdom we can all learn from, which I am always seeking.
This is one of my favorite episodes. I am a big fan of Jason's work. It was an honor to talk to him about it. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did so...

He thrives on collaborative work, and in this episode this becomes a theme that we explore deeply.
Liminal Horror is a fantastic gem of a game of Investigative Horror that uses the framework from Cairn and provides it's on set of tools and structures to create very instigating scenarios. This fostered a dedicated community of creators and a steady flow of modules and supplements that keep the game going and always full of ideas.

Joseph is also well known within the DCC RPG community as the Dark Lord, but in a very dear way. I had the pleasure to work with Goodman Games a few times, but I've always been an admirer of not only their work with games, but especially in the way they ciultivate creativity and community.
In this chat we talk about many great topics, including game design, doing business as a game, creativity, nature as inspiration, the famous Appendix N, and parenthood.

66 Tim Hutchings
Tim Hutchings is an award-winning artist and game designer best known for his game Thousand Year Old Vampire. He is also the creator of A Collection of Improving Exercises, Our Vacation, and many other games that explore the frontier of RPGs, games, and art. He's a soon-to-be-former university professor and closing up his art studio to focus on making games full time.
I love games that do things in very unique ways that tie well with their themes. That explore spaces that haven't been explored or that look at old things a very different angle. Tim's games do all of that! Combining that with his academic background and knowledge, I knew there could be a lot we could learn from him in this episode.
And that's what set out to do here, to explore a little bit of how Tim's process work, what inspires his work, what kind of weird things he is into and that kind of thins we love here.
This was a tremendous episode. Tim shared a lot of wisdom, and made quite a few great jokes! Enjoy it!

65 Lin Codega
Lin Codega is an entertainment journalist who co-founded Rascal--a worker-owned, alternative tabletop roleplaying game news outlet. They previously wrote for io9, Polygon, and MIT's Immerse magazine. They also make games, and a lot of other weirdly wonderful things we talk about in this episode!
The first time I met Linda as at Gen Con, and my friend Richard said I should meet them, talked about het work a bit and them I went to talk to Lin. She made a bunch of interesting questions and I answered them, but my autistic brain got the best of me and I didn't ask anything back!
Well, on this episode I try to rectify that talk to Lin about a lot of interesting topics, ranging from punk culture, the important of community, how our unfinished projects are not failures, but lessons we learned along the way, and a lot more!
This is a short episode, and I do pride myself of longer and deeper episodes, but Linda managed to pack a lot in this short interview and I am sure you will love it as much as I did.

64 JP Coovert
JP Coovert writes and illustrates whimsical TTRPG zines every month. He also makes videos that teach and encourage creators to make cool stuff for their tabletop roleplaying games. He creates complete games, one-shot adventures (some that can be strung for an campaign, others thematically to each game), toolkits, guides, and so many other wonderful things.
I honestly think JP's Patreon is one of the best bangs for your buck in the entire industry. He mixtures creative writing, good game design, whimsical ideas, wonderful illustrations, in a portable and affordable format. What do you want more? And it's all pretty much system neutral and easy to adapt to your favorite game. And if not, he has a bunch of his own games you can play with ease.
I loved hanging out with him again (we hung out at Gen Con 2023). We talked about his work, his constant output of great stuff, his hobbies besides RPGs, making art, comics, writing, and so much more.
It was a truly inspiring chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
So listen up, and get weird with us!
