"Hail Hydra!" - Everyone

Im Interview mit Eric M. Lang, einem der bekanntesten Brettspielautoren, wurden viele spannende Aspekte seines Lebens und seiner Karriere behandelt. Lang ist bekannt für seine erfolgreichen Spiele wie "Blood Rage", "Cthulhu: Death May Die" und "Marvel United". Er erzählt, dass seine Leidenschaft für Brettspiele bereits in seiner Kindheit begann, als er viel Zeit mit seiner Großmutter in Deutschland verbrachte, die ihm Spiele wie "Phase 10" und "Stratego" beibrachte. Obwohl seine Familie deutsche Wurzeln hat, wuchs er in Kanada auf und sprach zunächst Deutsch, bevor er Englisch lernte. Eric M. Lang schildert, wie er ursprünglich Musik machen wollte, insbesondere Rock-Gitarrist werden wollte, inspiriert von deutschem Thrash Metal. Diese Leidenschaft wandelte sich, als er mit 16 Jahren Dungeons & Dragons entdeckte, was seinen Weg als Spieleautor entscheidend beeinflusste. Er begann, eigene Rollenspiele zu gestalten und hatte schon früh ein starkes Bedürfnis, kreativ zu sein. Mit 19 Jahren kam er in Kontakt mit dem Bereich der Sammelkartenspiele und gründete bald darauf seinen eigenen Verlag. Sein Durchbruch kam 2002 mit der Zusammenarbeit mit Fantasy Flight Games, wo er das "Game of Thrones Collectible Card Game" entwarf. Die darauffolgende Erfolgsgeschichte des Unternehmens half ihm, seine kreativen Ambitionen zu verwirklichen. Eric sprach auch über sein erstes Spiel in Essen 1996, das den Grundstein für seine Karriere legte und ihm die Möglichkeit gab, von anderen Verlagen zu lernen. Das Gespräch wandte sich dann den Projekten zu, an denen Lang gearbeitet hat, einschließlich seiner Arbeit mit Cool Mini or Not, wo das Spiel Blood Rage entstand. Interessanterweise beschreibt Eric M. Lang die Entstehung von Blood Rage als einen glücklichen Zufall. Er wollte eine kreative und persönliche Verbindung zu dem Spiel schaffen, was sich letztendlich als einer seiner größten Erfolge herausstellte, als es auf Kickstarter große Unterstützung fand. In der zweiten Hälfte des Interviews sprach Eric M. Lang über seine aktuelle Position bei Hasbro, wo er verstärkt zusammenarbeiten möchte. Seine Ambitionen mit Hasbro betreffen nicht nur seine eigenen Spiele, sondern auch die Entwicklung anderer Titel, an denen er redaktionell mitwirkt. Eric verfolgt das Ziel, so viel Inhalt wie möglich in eine Box zu packen, was in seinem aktuellen Projekt "Leben in Retarra" und dessen Erweiterung "Moonrise" deutlich wird. Eric M. Lang legt großen Wert darauf, dass die Spiele, die er gestaltet, sowohl strategisch tiefgründig als auch zugänglich sind. Abschließend äußerte Eric M. Lang seine Zukunftspläne und die Wichtigkeit von Qualität über Quantität bei der Spieleentwicklung. Er möchte sich auf die Erstellung von weniger, aber dafür bedeutungsvolleren Spielen konzentrieren, während er weiterhin an neuen Projekten arbeitet, die er zuerst Hasbro präsentieren wird. Insgesamt hinterließ das Interview einen tiefen Eindruck von Eric M. Langs Werdegang und seinen Plänen für die Zukunft in der Brettspielbranche.Euer FeedbackIhr habt Feedback zu dem Podcast und Themen- oder Gastwünsche?
