Jeff Combos of Exile Game Studio give me an introduction to Hollow Earth.  I Think of it as Journey to the center of the Earth,  X-men, and Indiana Jones all worked into one great story.

The setting of Hollow Earth sounds amazing.  I really can’t wait to find out how the mechanics are unique.

James issthe fiction editor for Paizo, he is also the creative director for the Starfinder RPG releasing at Gen Con 2017.  In this interview we discuss Starfinder. We touch upon the character classes and how Paizo plans on making them feel futuristic without loosing their fantasy aspect.  We go on to talk about tech and how religion matures in Starfinder.  It was a lot of fun and I hope what we discussed doesn’t change too much while it’s on the drawing board.

I have to admit I was skeptical about Starfinder at first, but the more I hear the more I like it!

Oh man every time I talk with Phil Reed I get a ton of information.  We will be talking Moops, Car Wars,  OGRE, I hate Zombies and more. Oh they are making a sweet dice tower with lights!

I really like the way they are scaling Car Wars.  I think i will get the 4 player box first – how about you?

Thon has a unique mechanic where initiative is determined by the rank of the troop.

Loren and I chat about the house of Kurita. Plus some of the other new things they are about to unroll. He also hints what the Kurita Combat manual is about. Plus he tells us about the campaign operations manual – it’s plug n play! He also explains some of the mechanics that set the new Valiant deck builder apart from other card games.

Thanks Loren, It’s always fun talking with you.

At Gen Con I hooked up with Firelock Games to chat about Blood and Plunder.  Blood and Plunder is a historical game set during the height of pirates plundering the coastline. All I have to say is beautiful models plus boarding rules has to make for a good time.

There frigates are amazing.
