I denne episode vender vi tilbage til rollespillet Fusion, og vi interviewer her den anden af spillets to designere, Palle Schmidt, som fortæller os om tilblivelsen af Fusion, men også om rollespilsmiljøet, som det så ud i slutningen af 80'erne og begyndelsen af 90'erne, og om periodens rollespilsmagasiner, særligt Saga og Føniks, og hvordan noirs og krimier stadig er en stor del af Palles hverdag og karriere. I episode 29 talte vi om noir-rollespillet Fusion, og senere interviewede vi Malik om Fusion. Denne gang bliver det en samtale med Palle. Palle Schmidt er mangeårig scenarieforfatter, tegneserietegner og krimiforfatter. Du kan se mere til Palle Schmidts alsidighed via hans hjemmeside palleschmidt.dk og høre mere til Palle på podcasten PlotCast.
Denne episode bringer et interview med Malik Hyltoft, der har haft en finger med i talrige danske rollespilsprojekter, og han var sammen med Palle Schmidt forfatter på rollespillet Fusion. I forlængelse af vores episode om Fusion har vi her en episode, hvor vi snakker med Malik om tilblivelsen af Fusion. I episode 29 kan du høre Lænestolsrollespil tale om Fusion.
How’s it going? Really, how are things going for you? If things are going pretty good, you might want to tear everything down, and start all over again. Nick Kokonas (@nickkokonas) is Co-Owner of The Alinea Group and CEO of Tock. The Alinea Group is a collection of restaurants Nick started with world-class chef Grant Achatz, including their first restaurant, Alinea – a three-Michelin-star restaurant that received the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant in 2016. Alinea is also ranked in the top restaurants in the U.S. and the world on numerous lists, including World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Tock, Nick’s other company, is a reservation system for buying tickets to some of the best restaurants in the world. With Tock, Nick has completely re-thought the economics of restaurants, eliminating wasted seating inventory, and making available variable pricing based upon the popularity of reservation times. Nick is a truly original thinker. He’s demonstrated this on his appearances on some other podcasts, including The Tim Ferriss Show and Noah Kagan Presents. But this conversation is full of fresh insights, including: Nick says “people are far more afraid of success than failure.” What drives Nick to tear everything down and start over, even when things are going well? Nick also says "if you're trying to innovate. A/B Testing things as a terrible idea because people won't know what they want.” But there’s an important distinction he draws. Find out when he tests, and when he doesn’t. At Alinea, they intentionally make the first moments of dining there incredibly awkward. Seriously, I was cringing hearing him describe this. Nick said "there are people who hate us for it, and I'm okay with that.” Find out why. Thanks for sharing my work! On Instagram, thank you to @booknotes101 for doing a giveaway of The Heart to Start.

Velkommen til episode 29, hvor vi tager fat i en dansk rollespilsklassiker, Fusion, som er et noir-rollespil, som udspiller sig i en nær fremtid, hvor ting er gået skævt. Oprindeligt, da spillet udkom, var det sat til at udspille sig i 2012. Fusion blev suppleret med to bøger, "I en god sags tjeneste", en længere og mere omfangsrig kampagne, og en scenariesamling, "Som landet ligger", hvor scenarierne udspillede sig i provinsen. Ved siden af kom en del ekstra materiale blandt andet i form af con-scenarier (som kan ses og til dels downloades frit på Alexandria.dk
The Making Comics Gutter Talk podcast goes international. Again. In this episode, Adam is joined by Denmark's own, Palle Schmidt. If that name sounds familiar to you, it's at least one of two things. Either you have heard the previous Gutter Talk episodes Palle was on, as well as the Comic Con panel back in 2014 moderated by Patrick Yurick, or it's the amazing work he's done in Thomas Alsop or Comics for Beginners, a site dedicated to educating those with the dream of creating comics. In this episode, Adam and Palle discuss a wide range of topics. Whether it's the inside scoop on Palle's techniques as an artist or the various ways and differences artists are treated and respected between Denmark and the United States. They even touch on taxes. Taxes! We know, what do taxes have to do with comics? Well, directly, not much. But in the overall grand scheme of things, no one can escape them. Even underpaid artists. Make sure you give the Gutter Talk podcast a rating and review on iTunes and check out the MakingComics.com site for all your comic creating needs.

Fans of crime noir will especially enjoy today’s guest, storyteller Palle Schmidt from Copenhagen, Denmark. We begin our conversation discussing Palle’s favorite noir film recommendations and the must see experimental hippie village of Christiania. You may know Palle’s work as an artist on the Chris Miskiewicz penned comic series Thomas Alsop published by Boom! Studios in 2014. Palle tells how he first met Chris at the MOCCA Arts Festival and eventually partnered with him on Thomas Alsop. His latest comic Stiletto No.1 Officer Down is a spin-off of his previous work The Devil’s Concubine. Palle provides the basic plot and character profiles of Detectives Alphonse and Maynard. He also explains how he created the illustrations and how the look of Stiletto No. 1 Officer Down differs from The Devil’s Concubine. Palle is also a podcast host and I ask about his a ten-part series Comics for Beginners which he developed to assist comic creators through the process of making comics. He also has a second ongoing podcast Plotcast in which he has conversations with local writers about writing. Also during our conversation Palle discuss the benefits he found of working in a studio with other creators and later working from home. In the Kicking Back With The Creator segment, we find out what Palle considers the best film noir ever made, the posters he had on his bedroom wall and the oddest job he ever had.

I denne særudgave af PlotCast mødes de to værter Palle Schmidt og Malene Kirkegaard og snakker om hvad de har lært af 50(!) episoder af PlotCast. De to forfattere kommer desuden ind på deres eget arbejde og hvordan det har udviklet sig siden første episode gik i luften.
"Når jeg fortæller folk, at jeg er freelancer, får jeg ofte følgende spørgsmål: Er det ikke meget usikkert? Jeg vil vove den påstand, at det er mere usikkert at have et såkaldt normalt arbejde. Lad mig prøve at illustrere hvorfor. Hvis man henvender sig til en bank med henblik på at investere, så får man et godt råd: Spred dine aktiver. Man er mindre sårbar, hvis man satser på mere end én ting. Skal man i samme bank låne penge, så får man det stik modsatte råd. En freelancer, der baserer sin indkomst på mange forskellige arbejdsgivere, opfattes som et usikkert kort. Det er klart mere sikkert at satse hele butikken på én indkomstkilde ved at have et »fast« arbejde! Som jeg ser det, er hverken banker, sociale myndigheder, skattevæsen eller dagpengesystem fulgt med tiden. Det er stadig indrettet til lønmodtagere. Sikkert fordi dem, der arbejder førnævnte steder, selv er det." Denne podcast er produceret af Worksome. You can now also find freelance jobs in London on Worksome UK
Palle Schmidt har været selvstændig som tegneserietegner og forfatter i tyve år og har netop udgivet bogen "Solo - Survial guide til kreative freelancere" på Dansk Psykologisk Forlag. Vi tager en snak om, hvilke ting, man altså ikke skal bruge for meget tid på, når man starter som soloselvstændig. To-do-listen er bare så lang så lang. Men Palles gennemgående råd i bogen er, at det er vigtigst at få nogle gode kunder, og han nævner nogle opgaver, som i mange tilfælde bare er overspringshandlinger. Her er de ting, du roligt kan lade være med at bruge en masse tid på: Hjemmeside, SEO, Facebookside, blogging, komme i medierne, crowdfunding, at følge med i artikler, links, spændende bøger, Twitter, lave forretningsplan, gå på jobbørser.

Studios. In addition to discussing the genesis of and the process behind the title, Derek's guests speculate on the critical and popular response it's received, the long-term potential of the series, and creators' responsibilities in representing 9/11. Palle and Chris also discuss their use of race in America and the ways in which Thomas Alsop is undeniably an historically anchored text.
Episode 039: Chris Miskiewicz & Palle Schmidt This week on the Comic Pros & Cons podcast, Derek is joined by the two creators of the book Thomas Alsop, writer Chris Miskiewicz and artist Palle Schmidt. This book was originally released a few years ago, but the long awaited second volume of the 8 issue mini-series+ Read More
We've got another double interview episode for you today. First up is a talk with Joseph Phillip Illidge. Joe was on the show previously with artist & creative collaborator Shawn Martinbrough. but he joins us solo today to talk about his current weekly column The Mission over at Comic Book Resources. Joe doesn't shy away from giving his readers an honest take on issues of diversity and other voices in comics, and its that kind of discussion that made me want to have him back on the show. He also gives us some insight into what it was like being an editor in the trenches at both DC and Archaia, and how that experience has changed his own writing on projects like his upcoming original graphic novel with Martinbrough and artist Grey Williamson called “The Ren”. So a little looking back and a little looking forward in this one. Then we bring in writer Chris Miskiewicz and artist Palle Schmidt to talk about their recently concluded Boom! miniseries Thomas Alsop, which just saw the release of its first trade paperback last week. You'd think a story about a reality-show-starring magician struggling to protect Manhattan from various mystical evils would be complete fiction, but I assure you that there's more truth in this book than you would think possible. Separated by the Atlantic Ocean but joined by a desire to make awesome comics (and the one night of drunken debauchery that forged their creative alliance), these two are a team to watch out for.

On this episode we talk with Palle Schmidt. Palle is a freelance illustrator, writer and comic book artist living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He runs the tutorial site comicsforbeginners.com.

While our guest interviews are always amazing, we here at MakingComics.com are always seeking out new ways to educate the masses on comic creation. One of these ways is a new format we've created called Three Questions. In these brief podcasts, artists will discuss three various aspects of their own personalized craft of comic creation. In our inaugural episode of this exciting new format we hit the ground running with artist extraordinaire, Palle Schmidt.

Have you ever read the first line of a comic or graphic novel or any story, really, and you knew right away the story was going to be amazing? That's what we at Making Comics felt when we got our ink-stained paws on "Thomas Alsop" and the words Chris Miskiewicz was putting down on paper. We knew the art by Palle Schmidt would blow us away but the story and how the plot develops was what made Adam and the rest of the team excited about having Chris on the show. Having met Chris at San Diego Comic Con this summer, it seemed both right and inevitable to have him on the podcast. Take a listen as Adam and Chris sit down to discuss writing, acting, and hooliganis- uh, research for future stories.

Comic-Con 2014 was a blast! (If you were unable to attend, my sympathies. That's why we do these wrap-up posts.) Make sure to check out the audio link below. The local Making Comics crew—Patrick, Adam, Kevin, Devin, Evan—were there to rep the "revolution" and generally brag about our community and future plans. We're really excited by the enthusiasm readers have shown in response to our "Get A Grasp" MOOC and daily challenges, not to mention my own (hi!) #FAQDevin column and Adam's (in)famous Gutter Talk podcast. You guys have been awesome, and your creativity sustains us. We hosted a panel on Saturday called Uniting the Worldwide #makecomics Community. It was, without exaggeration, one of the best panels at the convention (at least amongst those discussing actual comics). The lineup was crazy: we had Rachel Beck representing our friends over at Storyforge, Mark Waid (of Daredevil fame) and Christina Blanch (writer of Damnation of Charlie Wormwood) from Thrillbent, Andy Schmidt from Comics Experience, Jim Zub (writes Skullkickers, Wayward), and Palle Schmidt (artist on Thomas Alsop) from Comics For Beginners. Patrick ran the panel while the rest of us listened intensely. After a brief rundown of Making Comics (dotCom) participation stats (number of MOOC students, worldwide readership breakdown), Patrick previewed some of the things we've been working on for the future. I'll let him determine what announcements are made public, but suffice it to say some neat stuff is coming. Then the discussion kicked off, and boy, was it glorious. The Web has enabled one of the biggest paradigm shifts [for] breaking into the industry. Webcomics let me see your work ethic. @MarkWaid Webcomics are no longer a vanity project for artists. They've become a legitimate option for breaking in. @JimZub Showing you already have an audience lends a kind of gravitas to your work for publishers. @Palle_Schmidt Much of the discussion concerned the changing landscape for comics in the last decade. Many on the panel have been working in/around comics for a while, and have observed this change firsthand. There used to only be one real way to "break in" to comics, as Andy points out: The question used to be "How do I write for Marvel or DC?" and now the majority of people want to know how to make their own stuff. - Andy Schmidt @ComicExperience The internet has democratized this process. Webcomics are a perfectly commercial form of comic that anyone can create and consume. People without access to a physical comic shop can still read comics online, which removes barriers and brings in more readers. Comic books are now available to everyone regardless of age or race or location. And that for me is the most exciting thing! @JimZub Many echoed this sentiment. Christy (@christyblanch) talked about the promising increase in the number of women who make comics, as well as the success she's had in reaching aspiring creators through her (juggernaut) SuperMOOC 2. Rachel discussed the ways in which creators of webcomics can bypass traditional gatekeepers—like publishers—and form mutually beneficial relationships with their audience: There is now a rise in patronage again, only now the niche market isn't the wealthy, it is the many. -Rachel Beck @Storyforgers Old paradigms of distribution no longer apply. People now trust friends and personal interactions more than blaring advertisements that we've learned to ignore. @JimZub People are now interested in genuine people, genuine passion, genuine projects. -Andy Schmidt @ComicExperience Everything that used to be the non-professional route is now just another option to use. @JimZub There was a lot of excitement and optimism on the panel, and why not? Access to comics is expanding. The tools for making comics are widely available, so anyone can make whatever type of story they like. The future is bright! I could continue,

"Jeg har det bedst med folk der ævler, siger noget til hinanden, gør noget. Det er der, jeg fungerer bedst, tror jeg." Kim Fupz Aakeson er et navn de fleste kender fra hans enorme produktion af børnebøger - Sallies historier, Vitello m. fl. - men hans navn forbindes lige så ofte med film - Den eneste ene, En soap, Viceværten, En ganske rar mand. Fupz har ligesom værten, Palle Schmidt, en baggrund som tegneserietegner men det er hans skriveproces og syn på faget vi prøver at dissekere i denne samtale. Lyt med og bliv klogere på det at være dum. Vi tager udgangspunkdt i et af Fupz' ti bud om at skrive for børn: Du skal være dum Når du bliver dygtig skal du ødelægge det igen. Alt det fine du kan. Du må gøre dig blank og se på dit arbejde og dine måder forfra, som om du ingenting ved. Det er det sværeste. Vi bliver nemlig nemt dygtigere når vi arbejder. Vi får måder at gøre tingene på. Vi får også måder ikke at gøre tingene på. Vi lukker døre og bruger kun dem vi ved dur. Vi lukker muligheder. Vi får vaner. Vi repeterer os selv. Vi bliver dygtigere og dygtigere, for dygtige. Drevne. Slebne. Det slagsmål holder aldrig op, at nedbryde sine vaner, at holde arbejdet nøgent og åbent og fuld af lyst. At gøre mandagen til et landskab du ikke kender. Du kan læse resten af de ti bud her.
"De fleste kæmper med at få tid nok til at skrive. For kvinder især, er der også issue i, at lære at lade opvasken stå!" I denne første episode af PlotCast taler de to værter, Palle Schmidt og Malene Kirkegaard (http://malenekirkegaard.dk), om skriveprocessen, organisering af skrivetid, om at strække sig og myter omkring forfattergerningen, de gerne ser aflivet.

Adam and Patrick don't let no stinkin' ocean get in the way when it comes to the comic creation process. That's why there was no hesitation when it came to scheduling an interview with Palle Schmidt, an artist, storyteller, and educator, from Denmark. Tjek det ud! That's "check it out" in Danish, in case you didn't feel like Googling it. You're welcome. I have to admit, I'd been looking forward to this interview for a little while. Not only am I a fan of what Palle is doing with his site but I was very curious what the comic scene was like in Copenhagen. You see, the extent of my traveling is limited to the U.S. so I don't get to travel internationally. When I get an opportunity to talk to someone living in another country, whether it's about comics or the weather, count me in. Talking to Palle was no let down. Learning about his process and his take on comic creation was well worth the wait. The topics ranged from the lack of comics in Copenhagen to scripting to using frustration as a learning tool for finding your own successful comic creation process. Enjoy!
