I chat to the incredibly thoughtful & talented Tim Fowers about all of his games. We go into:

• Why he prefers to sell on his own site instead of distribution
• Why he started Tabletop Network
• Who your audience really is (it's more than "people who like fantasy and games")
• And what crime he'd definitely be arrested for

I met Fertessa Allyse at Tabletop Network and got her to share some of her thoughts on a game she just signed. We chat about:

• Designing one game for a long time
• Tabletop Network
• Emulating (and not stealing) other game ideas

And most importantly: why Scar is the best Disney villain

• Creating a streamlined process to generate your cards and import them into a testing program
• and record crates
