Having Scott Dorward as commentary is even better! :)

Did you nominate him?

Milestone is good for us. Whenever feels sensible in the narrative - i.e. if they're still down a dungeon somewhere it's probably not going to happen there and then, but it can. After slaying a dragon seems a good time for mystical energies to infuse the characters. We've got a lot more relaxed...

You could well be right. Going off memory (again, could be wrong) I seem to recall GW or a similar company requiring a fixed price for the IP plus points on the product. A guaranteed annual return sounds right. Whichever way it's been done, the financials around that are more likely to drive...

I wouldn't feel bad, the rate of game release these days is bigger than anyone can get their arms around. Last year the Indie RPG Pipeline listed over 3000 new products, so there's bound to be something that passes you by. ;)

Yeah, I'm similarly speculating. I would imagine it was an upfront cost and then percentage on every product. Having swallowed the initial purchase price, producing more seems good, but only if the books are generating enough sales to be worth it, given economies of scale.

I was being unclear - I meant in relation to the partnership with Cubicle 7, who previously were involved in additional writing, editing, line management, etc. If this is solely coming under the auspice of Sophisticated Games see my original comments - if another partner is sought, that has the...

Be interesting to see how the RPGs go. It's entirely possible they could reduce down to one or two line developers or other role and freelance stuff. Depends on the people in charge of the purse strings of course, tabletop RPGs are frequently unattractive uses of resources in pure profit and...

Played some TOR last night as it happens. I think the 1st ed is okay - wouldn't surprise me if the property moves to a different licencee. Tolkien is always going to be popular. There are definite refinements and improvements that could be made, I'm not convinced Francesco is the guy to be...

My go to for one-shot Horror is Dead of Night, so if you want to do it episodic (each session like an episode of the show with different characters as the hapless victims), that would be the way to go. I've found it works well at emulating TV or film based horror and is a relatively simple...

All the things I've heard about the system (including from Swedes) are that it isn't great - so I maintain my surprise! Given the number of other games that were potentially available. Each to their own.

2016/17 seem curious results - maybe Trudvang was riding high on the success of Swedish games from Fria Ligan? The other previous winners seem on point though. Lots of exciting stuff this time around - I note a few licenced games are sneaking in.

Howdy Groovers! We were lucky enough to catch up with D&D guru Mike Mearls and recorded the chat for posterity. Go give it a listen if that's your kind of thing. Also, we've got another designer lined up for an interview, so keep your Perception checks rolling high got that landing next week...

Hey Morrus what's the deal with results? Are you doing an exciting podcast episode about it or other big reveal, or should we check here? Thanks!

What Would The Smart Party Do? is right there in the list, get voting ;) Maybe we can get Morrus to list things in reverse alphabetical order to make it easier for people to find? :D
