Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anna Abraham: The Creative Brain, Imagination & Understanding Ideas
Q: How do you define creativity, and why is it so important to distinguish creator and recipient perspectives?
Creativity is a act that is novel or surprising and satisfying, and recognizing the distinction between the creator's process and the recipient's experience helps us understand why some works feel deeply innovative to the maker but differently perceived by others, which keeps the study of creativity nuanced and grounded.
Van Ryder Games: Final Girl, Tabletop Stories & Independent Publishing
Q: Take us through that design process. Like, where do you even start on something like that?
The idea often started with a theme (horror and movies) and then evolved into a system inspired by Hostage Negotiator, combining deck-building and dice with a narrative-driven mechanic, ultimately leading to Final Girl's distinct two-part killer/location setup and modularity.
Van Ryder Games: Final Girl, Tabletop Stories & Independent Publishing
Q: What were you doing, both of you, I guess, before you decided to start making games?
They describe leaving soul-crushing jobs behind to pursue board games, leveraging prior business knowledge and an MBA, and gradually building Van Ryder Games from a garage operation to a full-time venture through crowdfunding and iterative development.
