Episode Chapters: (0:01:00) - Absolute Zero (12 Minutes) (0:12:56) - Legacy (8 Minutes) (0:28:14) - Benchmark (18 Minutes) Chapter Summaries: (0:01:00) - Absolute Zero (12 Minutes) The panel discusses Sentinels of the Multiverse, a cooperative super-hero-themed game that has no deck building and straightforward rules - do what the card says and you're good to go! We talk about games that have similar mechanics and how John, our resident board game historian, probably isn't a fan because of the lack of dice and because he doesn't like hand management. (0:12:56) - Legacy (8 Minutes) We discuss the challenge of taking down the Villain, and its interesting interaction with the Environment deck. We take a minute to discuss the characters that each of us had chosen to play. We then explore the rules of the game, which, although simple, are spread out and confusingly written. Despite the complexity of the villain, we agree that it was an enjoyable game and we celebrate our victory with a cheer. (0:28:14) - Benchmark (18 Minutes) We explore how our team managed to come together and take down the villain, Spite. Despite a difficult situation, we were able to pull off a win with only 7 health points remaining between us. We reflect on the cooperative games we have each played, the unique characters of the game, and the art style.

Alanna Cervenak of Asmadi Games (1001 Odysseys) and Christopher Badell of Greater Than Games (Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game) discuss the many roles and duties in game development, and how stressful it can be to just let someone else do their dang job. We also have an in-depth discussion about our many horrible adopted cats, which was fully unrelated and entirely delightful.
Just as we are told that it's always five o'clock somewhere, we can be assured that Mark and Walker are always wrong somewhere. Time marches inexorably forward, and we mark that passage of time by checking in with the much-loved Quartermaster General series.

Recorded at Metatopia 2016 Presented by Christopher Badell, Jason Walters, Marie Poole. Planning and running a Kickstarter campaign can be like designing and playing another game. Will you hack an existing formula or take a risk on an unusual approach? Will it include lots of fiddly mechanics and rewards or will you take a more artistic direction? When you're running the campaign, how do you play the roles of marketer, designer, publisher, business person, and artist? Join panelists as they talk about the design and management of Kickstarter campaigns themselves. In what ways have they evolved into established systems (stretch goals, etc.) and how are some creators breaking those conventions?

The last episode before the centenary episode of the G*M*S Magazine Podcast. Episode 100 will be special. We’ve no idea how yet, but it’ll be special. Meanwhile, I thought it’d be a good idea to interview Christopher Badell (yes, again), but this time not about Sentinels of the Multiverse, but about their new gaming venture; Galactic Strike Force. In Galactic Strike Force, the players play cooperatively to build ships and join forces in a tactical battle system. Although it is a coop game like Sentinels, it doesn’t play the same, it doesn’t feel the same and it doesn’t look the same. This one even has minis! Galactic Strike Force is now being funded in Kickstarter and you can take a look at the project page here. But I shall say no more and let you get on with the interview. Enjoy the show! (please) As usual, your feedback is most appreciated, so please do feel free to email us on podcast@gmsmagazine.com and let us know what you think! Look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy the show!

Ryan and Geoff welcome special guest Christopher Badell, designer of Sentinels of the Multiverse and one of the principals of Greater Than Games. We have a wide-ranging discussion about starting and growing a small game publishing company, specifically for a 'Single Game Game Company'. How does just having a single game system impact the marketing, growth, and design direction for a publisher? Is it good to have focus, or do you get pigeon-holed? When is Kickstarter good for a small publisher, and when is it bad? Duration: 56:45
