The best source of information and news. So helpful and I cannot get enough.
As someone who listens to more podcast and audiobooks than music, I thoroughly enjoy this one. It’s fun, it’s helpful, and best of all, these two gents goof off just enough to keep me entertained while not wasting my time. As a bonus, both seem like genuine nice dudes, so I don’t feel like some pretend marketing guru is trying to upsell me something.
Keep it up.

An excellent resource for learning the art of game design, the gritty side of running a business, and the resources available inside and outside of the Game Crafter.

This podcast is informative, humorous and annoyingly addictive. JT Smith and Jeff King do a great job of explaining the ins and outs of board game design, publication and of course the print-on-demand wonder that is the game crafter. Every show always teaches me something new and gives me loads of new ideas, some of which are actually good ones! The shows are the perfect length for a bus ride and are always injected with enough humour to make even the dryest of topics engaging. Keep up the great... more
Let's face it: 'crafting' tabletop games is NOT easy.
Fortunately, Jeff and JT are here with this Podcast to guide you toward getting your game out to the masses.
I wasn't sure quite what to expect when I started listening - after all, it's a Podcast for a print-on-demand company. This Podcast very easily could have been chock full of promotion or hype or criticism of the long-run print houses.
This Podcast is NONE of those things!
Jeff and JT are INCREDIBLY straightforward and open and h... more
J.T. And Jeff do a great job with this show. They keep each show focused and insightful. Through this show I have learned so much about game design, prototyping, business, and even law. It's great hearing the reasoning behind the decisions made at the Game Crafter.
I just started listening (just binged 10 episodes!) and this is my favorite podcast. It's really helping me in my quest to create my own game. These guys provide great insight on the products and answer questions you might have. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to create a game but not sure where to start.
Being an indie board game designer, I've really appreciated the services that The Game Crafter provides for making prototypes. This podcast is a great addition to the wonderful TGC services with helpful information about what's going on and what's coming up. Definitely recommended!
