Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we got to talk to the amazing game designer and artistic person in general Viditya Voleti.He is a game design educator who has been releasing games for several years now as both a prolific indie designer and freelancer for places like Paizo, Possum Creek Games, Evil Hat Productions, and tons more.He is also a very fun, funny, and thoughtful former art student whose preferred genre of game appears to be “all of them.”All this wrapped up into a really fascinating and inspirational and aspirational conversation about learning to fail, knowing who you are making games for, the concept of artistic studies in game design, and I think most crucially the attitude that when you make something, you're always taking a step forward.His latest game, A Land Once Magic, is a worldbuilding deck and conversation piece that is crowdfunding right now.We have links to the crowdfunder and all the other things Viditya and I talk about in the show notes. As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.With that - thanks for listening!———Edited by Nathan Lurz and Jonathan Zhang—Viditya on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/vidityavoleti.bsky.social Viditya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vidityavoleti/ Viditya on Itch (including A Land Once Magic!): https://vidityavoleti.itch.io/ A Land Once Magic: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/moreblueberries/a-land-once-magic?ref=reckless—Elliot Davis Reckless A-Talk: https://www.recklessattack.com/interviews/reckless-a-talk-elliot-davis/I'm Sorry Did You Say Street Magic: https://seaexcursion.itch.io/street-magicGrasping Nettles: https://adambell.itch.io/grasping-nettlesCrescent Moon sound from Fire Force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTUEM9KdxfQ

And over the years since, he has been a wonderful force for good in the space, further cementing my admiration of her.This is such a great episode, especially for those of us who are trying to balance our creative work with life, friendship, burnout, and the general weight of being. Eli and I chat about the editing process, collaboration, peer and community building, making your process sustainable, identity, and oh so much more.Eli is genuinely one of my favorite folks, and I think you'll enjoy your time with her as much as I did.As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.We have links to the things that Eli and I talk about in the show notes, including to the always excellent shows over at Mayday Roleplay and his game design work.With that - thanks for listening!———Edited by Nathan Lurz and Jonathan ZhangELI LINKS:Carrd: https://aghostofeli.carrd.co/ SOCIALS:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/aghostofeli.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@aghostofeli Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aghostofeli Mayday Roleplay: https://maydayroleplay.com/ Itch page: https://aghostofeli.itch.io/ Gumroad: https://aghostofeli.gumroad.com/ Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/aghostofeli Play games with Eli: https://startplaying.games/gm/aghostofeli

Super creative, hardworking, consistent, and generally generous with their time and expertise. Plus, incredibly funny and thoughtful.Lex has designed many games across a variety of genres and systems, but they are probably best known for their Caltrop Core System Reference Document or SRD.As of last count at the publishing of this episode, more than 230 games have been published through Caltrop Core and the document has been downloaded more than 2000 times.In this episode, we talk about Caltrop Core, but also about self-expression, depression, perseverance, the importance of failure and growth, and shitposting.As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.Thanks for listening!—Edited by Nathan Lurz and Jonathan Zhang—Website: https://titanomachyrpg.com/Lex on social media:https://x.com/titanomachyRPG https://www.tumblr.com/titanrpg Lex on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TitanRPG VOD of Nighthawks: https://www.twitch.tv/namelessdomain/video/1749027564 Self Promo/Digital Marketing Crash Course by Lex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXOmQ6ypOCI Lex-hosted Queer Wrath Game Jame for Pride Month, running through July 1 2024!https://itch.io/jam/queerwrathPrinciples of Anarchismhttps://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/lucy-e-parsons-the-principles-of-anarchism  Fat Magic Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hannaht/fat-magic-rpg-5e-campaign-setting A shitpost: https://x.com/titanomachyRPG/status/1558196629286567944?lang=en

As the Guilders attempt to obtain the final book they need, they are contacted by a relatively new acquaintance with some bad news.  Time is running out and the waiting room of the restricted section of the Agmar Library may not be the safe haven it once was.https://www.recklessattack.comWant to hang out with other fans?Join us on Discord!Like the show?

Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.I am as always your host GM Nathan, and I'm so excited to be back for our first full episode of 2024, PARTICULARLY with this wonderful and DARE I SAY NEWSWORTHY interview.I got to once again be a huge nerd about tabletop games AND about journalism, as I got to enjoy a very fun, very thought-provoking chat with co-founder of TTRPG news outlet Rascal Rowan Zeoli.Rowan is one of the big, independent news voices in the space, with phenomenal work done particularly in the review and interview spheres. In this episode, we talk a lot about her experiences doing both for Rascal, a new independent, reader-supported, worker-owned outlet covering tabletop games and shows. But we also talk a lot about identity, creativity, the twists and turns of life, collaborative critique, and what journalism as a service means.Most interestingly and refreshingly, we talked a LOT about the importance of news coverage and critical review in the tabletop and actual play world.Rowan just has some really wonderful perspectives and is so clearly a very thoughtful AND funny person, so this was frankly a very easy interview to conduct because talking to cool people is easy and good and fun turns out.Before I throw you to the episode, I want to do a small appeal to everyone listening. I was a hyper-local journalist for many years, and I cannot stress enough how important I personally believe small outlet journalism is to the world. Please find outlets in your hometowns, outlets that cover things you care about, and other people doing the hard work of shining a spotlight where there is darkness. And then, if you're able, pay them money to keep doing what they're doing, or at least subscribe to newsletters and otherwise vote with your dollars and attention.Anyway, that's enough from me - as always if you enjoy this episode please go check out our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.We have links to all the stuff we talk about in the episode in the show notes including lots of links to Rowan's journalism. With that - I'll see you next time!—Edited by Nathan LurzRascal: https://www.rascal.newsSelected Rowan work:Queer Dungeons & Transgender Dragons: Exploring Gender Through Imagined Worlds: https://www.autostraddle.com/queer-trans-dungeons-and-dragons/  https://www.rascal.news/d-ds-short-lived-latam-ambassador-program/ https://www.rascal.news/what-is-the-future-of-dimension-20/ https://www.rascal.news/marvels-giant-sized-special-is-a-super-powered-ad-in-an-actual-play-mask/ https://www.rascal.news/faster-purple-worm-kill-kill-is-your-improv-uncles-new-favorite-actual-play/ Harlem Hellfighters Never Die: https://www.queenscourt.games/streaming/harlem-hellfighters-never-dieWriteHive: https://writehive.org

The Guilders, having become accustomed to receiving book locations via a card, were slightly surprised to find that the next card looked like an invitation to a fancy gala. Stepping through the doorway, they find themselves having to play specific parts in order to find the book they need. The Players are playing the Characters who are playing the Roles they have chosen for themselves. What could possibly go wrong?https://www.recklessattack.comWant to hang out with other fans?Join us on Discord!Like the show?
