Adept Play
I have been interviewed many times in the course of publishing roleplaying games. These are from 2016 onward.
Erik Steiner is a PhD candidate at York University, studying the economics and marketing of role-playing. He’s apparently talked to a lot of people and eventually came around to me. Before you understandably anticipate a disaster, I’ll tell you the payoff: a great conversation and opportunity to articulate important ideas. Because, at his invitation, I…
Lorenzo Bertini asked me for some discussion about Lines and Veils, specifically, and the general concept they’ve been folded into. (Context: Lorenzo is Claudio Freda’s partner-in-crime regarding their game in design Inquest; Claudio is present in the video as well for clarity and sometimes translation.) I’d asked Lorenzo first to check out Conversation: Safe spaces…
Here’s an interview with me and Thomas Munier, who has been developing materials and ideas in the Francophone-Anglophone overlap. The title term is his, and its meaning is quite broad. He prepared the ground as follows: I would say that there are three parts to deal with which show an approach to inclusive design which…
Remember all those interviews a couple of months ago! This was another in the same time-batch, and believe me, especially since the Thirteenth Floor interview from the previous year was released then as well, I was getting very boggled about who asked what and what I’d said in each. With any luck, you can forgive…
I’ve finally caught up on interviews! This one is recent, conducted/presented at Twitch at March 29, just a few days ago. It’s part of a series on influential or notable game designers and publishers, and at some point, clearly, someone blew a fuse and included me. Here’s the link at Twitch TV. The good news…
I don’t know if it has anything to do with Adept Play as such, but I’ve been receiving a steady arrival of interview requests for a while – even or mostly, for some reason, from people I don’t know even a little. I like it, mysterious as its cause may be. Across all these interviews…
I’ve been in interview madness for a couple of weeks. The first was with The Thirteenth Floor podcast, which hasn’t been posted yet. Then I was contacted by Pawel from the role-playing play, design, and discourse community in Poland, who have had the dubious luck to dig into my essays at the Forge and have…
Recorded on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 This is an in-depth look at the Adept Play website and at Adept Press. This lengthy interview opens with an overview of the site and its features, then moves into specific examples of how those features are put to use: Welcome – Actual Play – Seminar – Consulting The interview…
It turned out to be a week for interviews. At long last, I may be conducting this “presence on social media” thing correctly, because people I don’t know, working from venues I haven’t encountered, have been getting in touch. The interviewer in this case is Nick Kozos, who is armed with a considerable list of…
