In this episode we are joined by Kendall McKenzie (Rollway Station designer) to unpack the randomness in Mage Knight. Mage Knight has a very healthy dose of randomness and yet is considered a game with a high skill ceiling, we look to unpack that sophisticated use of randomness as well as addressing the criticism sometimes thrown around that "Mage Knight is too lucky to be a strategy game." We unpack the different types of randomness, how they can sometimes feel, what agency the players have over the randomness and the value we attribute to words like "strategy, tactics and luck" and ask is any of this value misplaced? Is Mage Knight even a strategy game to begin with? Why does any of this even matter?

Ausgehend von den Überlegungen des Gamedesigners Keith Burgun diskutieren wir über Verwendungszweck und Wert von Zufall in Spielen: Ist Zufall in Strategiespielen nur eine Verschleierungstaktik um schlechtes Gamedesign zu kaschieren? Ist er in anderen Spielen ein wertvoller Wegbegleiter, der für Spannung und Abwechslung sorgt? Und wo liegt eigentlich der Unterschied zwischen Zufall und anderen unvorhergesehenen Ereignissen? All diesen und weiteren Fragen gehen wir in dieser Folge auf den Grund – rein zufällig, versteht sich! Der Beitrag von Keith Burgun: http://keithburgun.net/randomness-and-game-design/7

This week's episode of Roguelike Radio covers a classic commercial game relatively unknown in the U.S., Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Furaai no Shiren, a.k.a. Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer.  Although part of a long-running Japanese series that's still fairly obscure (in its non-Pokemon forms) in the West, this did receive a recent U.S. release as Mystery Dungeon.  The participants this time are John Harris and Keith Burgun.  They had a blast covering this one -- although it's just two people this time they talked for an hour and a half, and could easily have gone on another hour.  The two of panelists are devoted Shiren fanatics, and John argues particularly think it's one of the best games of the 16-bit era.  Note -- this is not the recent Wii release, which is an inferior game in our opinion.Read more »
