EPISODE ONE - THE TTRPG Design Rainbow (Feat. Morgan Davie)

How do you even start designing a tabletop roleplaying game?

The first episode is live!

Lets set the ground work, maybe you’re like me! You’ve played a lot of D&D 5e and you’re interested in indie systems. You’ve played a few, and the world has burst open. Theres a whole other universe out there, design that pushes boundaries, challenges assumptions and hierarchies, and excites players all across the world. And you want to try make a game for yourself, but you don’t know where to start! This podcast is the show for you. On this episode, Alex begins his journey towards making his first game. He talks to the players in his D&D game about their experiences playing at the table, and what makes a game fun or frustrating. He then chats to Aotearoa-based designer Morgan Davie (a|state, paranormal wellington) about getting into game design, the different stages, and approaching the exciting and everchanging gaming landscape! Listen to it now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, PocketCasts, or wherever you get your podcasts today.
