4.4 out of 5 stars from 45 ratings
  • This podcast is right in my geekzone of interest, so I can't bear to quit it. However, sound quality has gotten worse lately. (It was never very good, since the podcast is basically live recordings of panel discussions, but the last few episodes have been downright unlistenable.) There are a lot of super interesting episodes in the backlog, but for the more recent episodes, you need to sit in a dead quiet environment with a razor focused mind to be able to absorb any wisdom out of this.

  • Service Journalism for Tabletop RPG Creators

    Jason has compiled a far-reaching and inclusive selection of seminars and panels from both well-known creatives and subject experts richly deserving of broader recognition. If you have any interest at all in independent RPG design, creation, marketing, and/or sales, this is a jaw-droppingly rich resource.

    The fact that it’s received several troll reviews from the ‘Keep politics out of games’ losers tells you all you need to know about the good work this show is doing.
