G*M*S Magazine

And episode 5 is here!

In this episode from Chicago we have two interviews with as many game designers, Eric Etkin from TactDecks and Eloy Lasanta from Third Eye Games.

Eric Etkin is the inventor, developer and producer of the rather excellent TactDecks, a game that combines excellently card game with wargame mechanics in a quick but deep game play.

Eric talks to us about his approach to design, how this game started and came to be, and also about his views on current game scene and the future of TactDecks.

Eloy Lasanta is the talented write behind Third Eye Games, company that has brought you Role Playing Games such as Wu-Xing, Apocalipse Prevention and, very soon, Part-time Gods.

Eloy takes us through his gaming past, present and future... far into the future, with an exclusive announcement on his next project for 2013... Yep, that far ahead!

We talk about Wu-Xing and Apocalypse Prevention Inc, and how Eloy came up with the ideas and development for both settings and the mechanics. A really interesting story there!

This is also your chance to learn more about Part-time Gods and get involved in the production stages of the game by pledging to the Kickstarter project. You can visit that project by clicking here and the podcast will give you all the information you need about this game.

I truly believe it sounds fantastic.

Hope you have a great time listening to the podcast and look forward to hearing your comments!

And after a long time it is here.

Apologies for the delay in bringing you this podcast. In the last few weeks I had to come to Chicago for two weeks, go back to the UK, go to Spain for a week, come back to the UK and then come back to Chicago, which has made life a tad too complicated when producing, editing and publishing anything.

However all is good and we have a very interesting show this time with two interviews.

Our first guest in this show is Daniel Dranove, a Chicagoan who's created a game with his friends called "Cards Against Humanity". Terrific fun game mostly for adults, but more during the interview.

Our second guest is a fantastic writer and gamer called James "Grim" Desborough, proud owner of Postmortem Studios. I could say a lot about this interview, but you better listen to it... it's a lot more interesting that way!

And we have our first competition! This is your chance to win a copy of the "Non Trivial Quest" game. All you need to know is at the end of the podcast and entering the prize draw couldn't be any easier.

You can find the podcast in iTunes, in Podbean or download it by clicking here.

Enjoy!
