Open Design 006: Kobold Quarterly 11
Swine Flu edition
Welcome to the Open Design Podcast, a discussion about game design and game mastery with hosts Wolfgang Baur, Ed Healy and Rone Barton.
Regular Features:
* ‘Wicked Fantasy’ with John Wick
Robin Laws’s designs have brought us some of the most innovative games of the past two decades. From Over the Edge and Feng Shui, to Fear Itself and GUMSHOE, Robin’s been pushing the definitions of what roleplaying is.
Tim Connors is known for ‘Siege of the Spider Eaters‘ in Dungeon Magazine as well as for his articles in Kobold Quarterly, including the ‘Belphegor, the Baron of Laziness and Invention‘ and ‘Adriel, Angel of Hope‘. This year, Tim was honored with a Silver ENnie Award for his contribution to Open Design’s Tales of Zobeck.
Ryan Macklin is an ENnie Award-nominated podcaster and audio producer. Between three podcasts (Master Plan, This Just In… From GenCon and The Voice of the Revolution), Ryan has produced over 100 episodes totaling over 45 hours of audio. He is also the owner and organizer of RPGPodcasts.com, a directory of shows relating to role-playing games.
