64 JP Coovert
5/9/2024
JP Coovert writes and illustrates whimsical TTRPG zines every month. He also makes videos that teach and encourage creators to make cool stuff for their tabletop roleplaying games. He creates complete games, one-shot adventures (some that can be strung for an campaign, others thematically to each game), toolkits, guides, and so many other wonderful things.
I honestly think JP's Patreon is one of the best bangs for your buck in the entire industry. He mixtures creative writing, good game design, whimsical ideas, wonderful illustrations, in a portable and affordable format. What do you want more? And it's all pretty much system neutral and easy to adapt to your favorite game. And if not, he has a bunch of his own games you can play with ease.
I loved hanging out with him again (we hung out at Gen Con 2023). We talked about his work, his constant output of great stuff, his hobbies besides RPGs, making art, comics, writing, and so much more.
It was a truly inspiring chat. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
So listen up, and get weird with us!

62 Craig Hatler
5/2/2024
Craig Hatler (he/him), @tezrak on most socials, bis the IT Help Desk Manager for a small historically black university in Raleigh, NC, USA. He has been playing #TTRPGs for over 30 years & have been developing/designing for over half that time. He has created a modular system and setting, both released as Creative Commons, allowing others to create with his work collaboratively.
I confess I didn't know much about Craig's work before the interview, and he helped me out when a guest had to cancel. He was on my list of future guest but the opportunity presented itself and here we were. And it was great.
Craig is a knowledgeable guy. He played and sutdied a lot of games, and seems have what I like to call "designer eyes", that ability to take things apart and figure out how they work and how they can be used for other stuff.
We talked about game design, inspirations, our strugglers, pixel art, other games. It was a really fun, insightful and educational episode! I hope you an learn something new with this one.
So listen up and get weird with us!

61 Andrían Mejía
4/30/2024
Adrián Mejia was born and raised in Quito, the city that he loves and hates. He wants to see more latines in Fantasy, both as characters and players, and tell stories he doesn't see elsewhere. He is the lead director of the Koboa project, a South American Fantasy setting for D&D, Pathfinder and other fantasy ganes, and is hoping to get a few more projects underway as he keeps experimenting with game designs he finds interesting.
The first time I saw the vibrant colors and unique characters of the Koboa ads I was immediately interested and started to follow Adrían. As a fellow RPGLATAM creator, I was excited to have Adrían on the show to talk about his project, his journey, his inspirations, and that's what we did.
We also talked a lot about being Latin Americans making games in the international market, we talked about RPGLATAM, about colonization, about social justice, and many other things that is almost impossible not to talk about when we talk about LATAM.
It was a delightful chat, full of great ideas, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
Listen up and get weird with us!

4/18/2024
Jordan Dube is the owner & operator of Goosepoop Games! He is greatly involved with the community: running game meetups and conventions as executive director of his local game group in Portland, ME, performing clarinet in a swing band, writing video game review articles, and climbing rocks at the rock gym. Formerly a UX designer, programmer, sound engineer, and Army clarinetist, Jordan uses his diverse knowledge to create accessible and approachable games for players of all types. Connection and supporting others is Jordan’s passion and he uses Goosepoop Games to pursue these values.
I am always interested in people working on making the community better, more welcoming, more accessible, and who would imagine they are also seeking new ways to make games, and dabbling with themes like philosophy, meditation, mindfulness. So Jordan work was super interesting to me instantly!
In this episode we talked a lot about exact those interests, we exchanged a lot insights, jokes, and very deep personal things. It was amazing, it was fun, and very educational! I hope you love it too!
So listen up and get weird with us!

57 Harley Stroh
4/16/2024
Harley Stroh, legendary RPG writer, Skate Punker, and an incredible Judge (or GM for the non-DCCers out there)! Author of moderns classics like Sailors of the Starless Sea, Doom of Savage Kings, Blades Against Death, Journey to the Center of Aereth, Tower of the Black Pearl, Peril on the Purple Planet, and more recently, the impressive The Music of the Spheres is Chaos, a massive boxed-set adventure with a spinning dungeon map! His work in the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG line is super inspiring, and his adventures are some of my favorites of all time!
I've been a fan of Harley since I bought my first printing of the limited edition gold skull DCC RPG that came with Doom of Savage Kings, a very pulpy, and open-ended adventure that set very high standards for what I would expect of adventure for now on. I played this adventure so many times, and continue to do so, and I am always impressed how different every time can be.
Anyway, in this chat we talked about many things, from how sneakily weird Harley actually is, how he tries to write amazing adventures just to keep up with the fantastical art created by Doug Kovacs, how he runs his finger over his keyboard while writing, and so many other weird and wonderful things.
I loved to have this chance to talk to him for almost 2 hours, it was a real pleasure. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Listen up, and get weird with us!

56 Luke Stratton / Limithron
4/11/2024
Luke Stratton, or Limithron as he is known throughout the seven seas of the internet, is an artist, game designer, producer, and so many other things. He is the creator of Pirate Borg, as well as Limithron's Guide to Naval Combat for 5th Edition D&D! He was with me on both Game On Expo and Gary Con, so we get to talk a little bit about those.
Luke and I had the chance to bond over the course of 2 weeks, as we both attended Game on Expo as Guest/Panalists, and went to Gary Con afterwards to relax among like minded gamers! I am very glad I spent that time with him and I am glad we could talk about that and many other things on the show.
We delved into his creative process, his effort to keep the passion for pirate stuff alive, the influences he had while working on Pirate Borg, other artists that inspire his way to work, and many other weird and wonderful things.

Denis McCarthy has been illustrating and making stock art for indie games since 2016. He has work on multiple tiles in the Indie and OSR community, having a style characterized by an attention to history and architecture. He also sells a lot of stock art, which features in innumerable products, including my own!
I've met Denis in a trip I made to Gen Con one of those years ago while I spent some days in NYC before the convention. We talked about art, games, design, life, and everything else. I had the chance to do this another time since them, and well, in this episode as well.
Denis is not only an artist but also a scholar. He studies a lot and know what he is talking about, as you will hear in the episode. We talk about many of our favorite influences, Denis praised GURPS, he shares some meditation techniques. It was great. Very insightful guest!
So listen up, and let's get weird with Denis McCarthy!

Zac has written for dozens of publications, including entries in D&D 5e, Mork Borg, Mothership, OSE, Vast Grimm, his upcoming work on Primal Quest, Zweihander, and the Hannibal RPG, and more. In another realm, he is the President of Tabletop Fanatics, one of the Directors at World of Game Design, and a co-host of the Geeks’ Cant podcast.
Zac is one of those person you wonder "how do they make it all?", and now I am having a chance to pick his brain on this chat, and work with him on a Primal Quest adventure! It's amazing.
This was a wonderful and weird chat. Zac does not think he is weird, but he is definitely one of us, and I am glad he is. He shares a lot on this episode, and hopefully you will learn as much as I did.
So listen up, and let's get weird with Zac Goins!

Michael is the mind behind Luck of Legends, where he teaches writing using games like Stories RPG - which is also his creation, a play-to-learn literacy game and podcast. He coaches teachers, runs after-school programs, writes curriculum, and zealously preaches the gospel of re-designing learning in and out of the classroom.
We have been following each other's work on twitter for a couple of years or so, and I've always been interested in gaming for kids (I think it relates to me really hoping my kid gets into tabletop gaming), and having wanted to work as an educator as well, and seeing the potential RPGs in special have to teach us, I saw Michael as a must have guest for our weird show!
And just like the rest of us, he is a weirdo and we talk for quite a while about gaming, learning, creativity, community, the celebration of being weird and so much more. It was a wonderful chat! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
So listen up, and get weird with us!

And we talked a lot about exactly that on the podcast. How to integrate Art and Game Design. We talked about the bless/curse of writing, illustrating, doing layout and everything in a book. We mentioned a lot of other creators whose work and creativity inspires us.
Honestly, we talked a lot about art, creativity, process, etc. It's an episode in which these themes come up a lot and I think that's really great. It can be very inspiring and useful to other creators.
We had a great time and I hope you do too!

Matthew Morris, aka ManaRampMatt has been playing roleplaying games for nearly a decade and has been creating and publishing games and supplements since 2020. He is obsessed with Mausritter and any other Into the Odd based game. Outside of the gaming world he is a husband to an amazing wife, father to two little and cute kiddos, and pastors a rural church community. Matthew loves history, theology, fantasy, adventure, and lots of weird little things in those realms.
Matthew's work and enthusiasm for the hobby are contagious! I had the honor to collaborate with him in a few occasions and I can't wait to do it again. His most recent work has just been kickstarted and is called Tomb of a Thousand Doors brings a community built mega dungeon to the acclaimed Mausritter RPG! Oh, and he just launched a Patreon with Hush Lashbrooke to release more Mausritter content regularly (check it out: https://www.patreon.com/TinyTails)
On this wonderful chat we talked about coffee and his relationship with it and creativity. We talked about how he is a man of christian faith and how that affects his life and the life of other around him. How he seeks to be a beacon of light and positivity, and how that is important in a world that is constantly blasting us with negative information 24/7.
We talked a lot about gaming, RPGs, influences, artists, and all that wonderful weirdness we love!
So listen up and get weird with us!

I'v been talking to David over Twitter for a while now and I am always impressed by the depth and width in his work. In this chat I had the opportunity to talk to him a little bit more about it, and about how he, as an artist, explores not only the medium of TTRPG, but music and other mediums to express himself and experiment.
This is one of those episodes you can hear we are just having a great time chatting exploring the weird. We talked influences, we talked favorite creators, he studied Kung Fu in a real freaking temples, folks! This is wonderfully weird!
We had a great time chatting, we go deep, we get weird!
So get weird with us! :)
