    Love the game design talks
    Personally I love hearing the thought process when it comes to game design. I think the addition of recording the entire journey adds to the experience.

    Great show, give it a listen
    The is a great show. Episodes generally fall into two categories design and play testing. The design episodes are reall interesting, you get to hear the reasoning behind their game design decisions and it makes you really excited for the system. The play testing episodes are also great. Not only do you get to hear the system in play, you get some great role-players having fun. Give it a listen

    If you love any form of role playing, this is the podcast for you
    Most tabletop podcasts I listen to rarely pull back the kimono to show what’s going on behind the scenes. This podcast gives the listener an encompassing look at what it takes to build, test, and rework all of our favorite role play mechanics while still finding time to be creative and funny. Even if you’re not interested in what it takes to design your own tabletop, the play tests are rich with intense combat and developed characters. This is my new favorite podcast for sure!
