With so many interviews from Spiel and so many episodes to come, including the ones for the RPG section of the podcast, it felt only right to record one episode with Dr Reddy to ask and answer questions about Spiel and the state of games at the show.
Though the dear Doctor Reddy and I are a bit crazy, there is a lot of method and wisdom in our madness and we do talk games like true pros. Dr Reddy has organised a convention based on dyslexia and games, which is a very dear subject for me since I am dyslexic. Me, on the other hand, have received a few games, some of them not released yet (thank you publishers!) and you’ll probably want to hear about them because they are pretty stunning.
And there is the traditional interview and this time we have a true legend. Alfred Leonardi, the truly terrific mind behind Ace of Aces, a diceless aerial combat game from the early 80s that became very successful in Kickstarter recently.
Again that time for a new episode of the G*M*S Magazine podcast Boardgame Edition with another interview.
This episode is really excellent because I had the pleasure of interviewing Dominique Metzler, one of the two amazing people who organise Spiel in Essen every year and for the last 15 years.
Sometimes life conspires against you and the things you normally do, you can’t do them normally because life has got in the way. However that doesn’t mean that what you do in a different way is any worse. In fact, it can be just as good!
The latest in the States of Siege Series of games brings Steve Carey’s design skills to an interesting aspect of the 2nd World War in the Mediterranean. Having set such a high standard with We Must Tell The Emperor, my expectations were high for Malta Beseiged: 1940-1942.
