Podcasts about play design

I talk a lot about all the changes cards go through early in design. In this podcast, I interview Play Designer Ben Weitz to talk about the types of changes the Play Design team makes to cards late in the process.

What's better than a bunch of adorable, flower-pollinating honeybees? Putting those honeybees in space! New worker-placement game Apiary  is the buzzworthy debut design of Connie Vogelmann. We invited her on the podcast to see how she went from playtester to a proud creator of a high-production game by a big-time publisher. We also chat about what responsibilities designers, publishers, game teachers, and players have in preventing "bad play" plus some recommendations for smaller-group party games. We're giving away a copy of one of those small-group party games, Stool Pigeon! To enter, just subscribe to our newsletter (look for the "subscribe" email field on the front page of our website).  Timeline: 3:33 - Going Analog's game pick: Apiary. 19:06 - Connie's game pick: Life of the Amazonia. 23:15 - Going Analog's topic: small-group party games. 46:41 - Connie's topic: protecting against "bad play."

The Morning team start the hour with Ask Me Anything, then take calls on what's causing issues for Jalen Hurts. Jason Kelce joins the team to talk about the last two weeks. 

This episode is all about the Play Design of Wilds of Eldraine, featuring Magic play designer Ben Weitz.

In this podcast, I sit down with the Jadine Klomparens, lead play designer of March of the Machine, to talk about the play design process for the set.

In today's podcast, I sit down with Ellie Rice from the Casual Play Design team to talk about their process for March of the Machine.

Season 18, Episode 3: Brewer's Guide to March of the Machine, Vol. 3 The full set of March of the Machine is revealed, and something is clearly amiss. Every card looks good. Incubate looks synergistic and easy to transform. Battles look like tremendous value. Convoke looks fun, and Backup looks extremely versatile. Even the silly infinite combos — and there are many in this set — are looking pretty good. This can't be right. Either we are wrong, or Wizards is wrong. Play Design knows their stuff, so it's probably a case of us wearing brew goggles. But that won't stop us from trying to break these sweet new cards. In the third installment of our Set Review, David returns to lend a Pioneer perspective on the best new additions to the brewer's toolbox. Rona, Herald of Invasion is the best 2 mana looter we have seen, and supports multiple infinite combos. Change the Equation has main deck potential in the current Pioneer metagame. The 1-mana backup creatures, Scorn-Blade Berserker and Enduring Bondwarden, support a tremendous variety of play patterns. Even the humble Ichor Drinker draws comparisons to Voldaren Epicure and Lingering Souls. There's tons of spice up and down the mana curve. Let the Great Work begin!

Veteran Coach & Scout Chris Landry takes you through Play Design, Play Execution and Play Calling and explains how each affects the other two. Don't be the lazy fan or media type and just go along with the crown. Rather, get a first hand understanding of the WHY"S of the operation and you can see why things sometimes turn out the way they do. It's all falls under Coaches Responsibility regardless but at least understand where the problem is as you cannot fix a problem unless you properly identify it.

Benjamin Strobel ist eigentlich Dr. Benjamin Strobel, denn er hat erfolgreich seinen Doktor in der Psychologie an der Universität Kiel erlangt. Mit diesem Abschluss in der Tasche beschäftigt er sich seitdem vor allem mit der Schnittstelle zwischen psychologischer Forschung und Spielen - mal als Gastdozent, mal selbst als Forscher, am meisten aber als Gründungsmitglied und Podcaster von Behind The Screens, seinem persönlichen Projekt. Mit Dom Schott sprach Ben über seine Arbeit mit Studierenden, über Geschenke beim Metzger, "Dark Patterns" und ethisches Free-to-Play-Design. Es wurde stellenweise hitzig, aber liebevoll hitzig.

Try as they might, our beloved hosts just can't stay on track. On this episode, Andy's attempt to tie up a few loose ends from last week's episode ends up leading our heroes down another rabbit hole about the Cube design process and how it relates to the player psychographics. It was not a fruitless journey, though! On this episode, Andy and Anthony propose the application of the “Vision Design” and “Play Design” distinction that exists within Magic R&D to Cube design. Tune in to learn all about Midnight Cube, The Ballmer Peak, and second-hand Drive to Work episodes. You can find the hosts' Cubes on Cube Cobra: Andy's “Bun Magic” Cube Anthony's “Regular” Cube If you have a question for the show, or want us to do a pack 1, pick 1 from your cube, email us at mail@luckypaper.co. Please include how you'd like to be credited on air, your pronouns, and if you're submitting a cube for the pack 1, pick 1, a link to said cube. Musical production by DJ James Nasty.

After a long hiatus due to staffing issues, for episode 32, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) talk about Guilds of Ravnica. Here’s the timestamped table of contents for your listening ease and enjoyment:02:24 – How Cards Are Made09:03 – Listener Questions on GRN32:10 – Lunch and Dinner in Seattle38:38 – Invert // Invent and Being an EditorTotal runtime: 46:44Where Was That Nat Guy Anyway In October 2016, I (Nat) moved to Seattle and briefly touched the sun as an editor in Magic R&D for Wizards of the Coast. For two years, my wife and I lived for adventure in the Pacific Northwest, and I got to live out the dream of working on Magic: The Gathering, the game I’ve managed to dedicate more than half my life to playing. Working for Wizards was great. I learned many things that I’ll carry with me now that I’ve left, not only about Magic (how it’s created and how it’s played) and about editing in general. For anyone who’s dreamed of working in Magic R&D, I’ll say it’s pretty much everything you’ve imagined. You can spend an entire day playing Magic with some of the best, most insightful, and most creative players ever. You get to see all the cards as they develop, before they come out. And you end up with more product than you realistically know what to do with. But it’s still a pretty regular office job, with meetings and whatnot. Most of the time employees are still concerned with meeting job responsibilities, managing whatever it is you’re working on at the time. And when my wife and I were looking at what we wanted from life, it was evident that with aging parents and the thought of having children of our own, it would be a lot more convenient to be back in Ohio than a day’s flight away from it (also, housing prices in Columbus are literally a quarter of those in Seattle!). In my two years, I worked on a lot of different things you may have seen. Among other things, I did Duel Decks: Merfolk vs. Goblins, finished the editing on 25th Anniversary Masters and Iconic Masters, and did the creative editing on Rivals of Ixalan. There are things I worked on that I still can’t talk about because they’re not even a gleam in the players’ eyes yet. I was also the lead editor on Guilds of Ravnica, and in this episode we talk about that. I answer some listener questions about the Magic R&D process and talk about some of the cards. If you want to know about some names or flavor texts I wrote or what the heck happened with Invert, it should be pretty entertaining. If you’re interested in reading about the process I describe pretty quickly, Mark Rosewater has a column detailing it, titled “Vision Design, Set Design, and Play Design.” I directed listeners to an earlier article, which is here, and also worth checking out. Lunch and Dinner in Seattle Josh asks what the good places to eat around Wizards of the Coast are. I didn’t take full advantage of all the local options because I’m frugal (cheap). I like to save money on normal eating so I can spend more on special events, so I generally packed my lunch. But there were a few places that I enjoyed semi-regularly. Malakor Thai and Spice King are both good if you like Thai or Indian food. I’m not an expert in either, but Elizabeth and I went to Malakor a few times for dinner too, and Spice King was where my team went for a goodbye lunch. Other times I would treat myself to a burrito at El Burrito Loco because carnitas and horchata are delicious. Seattle also seems to have an affinity for local burger places, something around Five Guys in price and expected quality. Shake ‘N Go was the one nearest the office, and they have good burgers, fries, and shakes, as well as some other offerings I didn’t take advantage of. The best known Seattle burger restaurant is probably Dick’s Drive-In, which I was disappointed to learn is closer to fast food than fast casual, but they know what they’re doing. I like their shakes. My absolute favorite burger place in Seattle is The Burger Express in Federal Way, a little south of Renton. They have a wide variety of burgers, all grilled to perfection, and hand-cut fries that are the perfect mix of crispy outsides and soft inners. Their shakes are spun and super thick. They grill their own jalapenos too, and for my money, their jalapeno burger is the second best burger I’ve ever had. Other places I thought were good were Pick Quick (a local chain I visited in Auburn), Herfy’s Burgers (another local chain near the office), and Zippy’s Giant Burgers (two locations with lots of burger memorabilia on the walls, and they sell beer). For finer dining, I really like Lecosho, which is a couple of blocks from Pike Place Market. They have locally sourced food, including seafood and some interesting options when they’re available, and do a great job preparing it. Also good cocktails. Lecosho is up the hill from Copperworks Distilling, which has great whisky varieties and whose cask-finished gin from chai-spiced cider barrels was just amazing. And if you’re near Pike Place, I like The Crumpet Shop for a snack. You may have to know what a crumpet is to understand cricket, but they clearly do both. Other places that were high on my list were Taylor Shellfish, Bizzarro Italian Cafe, and Donut Factory. Taylor Shellfish would have several oyster varieties available and also served geoduck sashimi, which is a fun experience. Bizzarro has really good Italian food that definitely seems better than stuff you would make at home, and they fully encourage drinks with dinner. And Donut Factory, on Seattle’s north side has a wide selection of fry-cake doughnuts, including flavors like green tea, Oreo, and red velvet, all of which are sweet bites of heaven. They have more deluxe pastries as well, but fry-cakes are my favorite. I think that’s pretty good, summarizing two years of good food into a few paragraphs. Seriously, though, if you’re traveling to Seattle, I found fellow Wizard Gavin Verhey’s website, Gavin Eats, to be a solid assessment of a lot of places with a really useful binary rating system. Questions for Discussion Anything we missed when talking about Guilds of Ravnica? We can continue answering questions in the comments if you want. Concluding Remarks Thanks for listening, and thanks to everyone who submitted questions for this episode! We hope we were able to provide a unique look into how Magic cards are created. We’ll look forward to any questions or comments here or The Mana Drain or on Twitter. You can also email us at seriousvintagepodcast@gmail.com. And if you want me to put editorial markup on your copies of Invert, I’ll see you at Eternal Weekend!

With the launch of Disney+ and the release of the big Star Wars series “The Mandalorian,” few things have captured the hearts and minds of the internet quite as quickly or thoroughly as “The Asset.” And as we all know, nobody can capitalize and merchandize as well as Disney. But Magic has some amazing merchandising opportunities out there as well. So with Black Friday a week or so away and the holiday season right on our doorstep, what’s your pitch for the must-have can’t-miss Magic: The Gathering holiday toy of the season?

In this bumper episode, we dive deep on the implications of the Standard bans, and the Play Design philosophies behind them, and their interaction with the London Mulligan. We discuss the recently-announced updates to Magic Arena and specifically Historic in the form of new cards.

Donate to The Permaculture Podcast Online: via PayPal Venmo: @permaculturepodcast My guest today is Karl Treen of Food Forest Card Game. He joins me to share where his life has gone since our interview last year. Support the Podcast on Patreon A longtime permaculture practitioner, Karl is one of the people whose work I follow off the air and I find quite a bit of inspiration from what he's doing with his card game and working on implementing his designs in an urban environment where he lives in Rhode Island near the Atlantic Coast here in the United States. Though we've never met in person, knowing Karl as I do we wound talking as soon as we connected without a formal start to the interview. As a result what you're about to hear drops directly into the conversation, but is not where we began nor ultimately where we ended when I turned off the recording. Where we do pick up is a few moments after he shared that he made a move to a new house with a larger yard and how this change influences his permaculture work. Along the way, we talk about a variety of thoughts. Those include different uses for his game inside the permaculture or school classroom; accepting that we can't know everything and with that what we can do to be better teachers and designers; and why Instagram is our favorite place to learn and share new ideas, and some folks he recommends following. Find out more about Karl and his work at foodforestcardgame.com. While you are there consider picking up a couple of sets of cards as stocking stuffers for the holidays and introduce your friends and family to permaculture design. I also recommend following Karl on Instagram. As we mentioned there at the end of the interview, you can find him at foodforestcardgame. In his feed, you can see images from his mushroom logs, which he inoculated a few days after recording this interview in early November. You'll find links to his Instagram account, his mushroom project, and the people he mentioned worth following in the show notes. To go with this interview, I'm giving away a deck of Food Forest Card Game cards and a copy of Mary Appelhof's Worms Eat my Garbage. I like sitting down with Karl to talk about his work because I find what he's doing, even after his many years of practice, reflects the experiences of other permaculture folks who work a job, have a little bit of land and are doing the best they can. As with his conversation about composting and black soldier flies, we have many decisions to make on what works best for us, our design, and goals. Yes, he has the perfect start to growing the fly larva, but at this time there are other places to focus his time and energy. Though he's studied permaculture; created a design and education aid for the community, and remains connected with myself and others; he still finds inspiration from others. By focusing on a particular area for practice, he expands his knowledge, and direct experience becomes an in-depth resource for anyone who contacts him, while still absorbing what interests him from others. Similarly, as I continue down my own path, my own role is influenced by sitting in the chair as the show host, to have conversations with guests, read the latest books and newest articles, and act as a curator of information about permaculture. To pull upon all these connections to help you find the people, books, organizations, and resources that help you meet your goals. As one of my teachers used to say, to be a guide on the side rather than a sage on the stage. Continuing to stay in touch with Karl and others in our community, I'd like to have more casual conversations like this. We can learn so much from the informal understanding of the day to day lives of others putting the ideas of permaculture into practice. If there's someone who appeared on the show in the past that you thought I had a good conversation with and you'd like to hear back on the air for something less formal, let me know. Email: The Permaculture Podcast Write: The Permaculture Podcast The Permaculture Podcast From here the next conversation should be my interview with mycologist Lindsay Bender of Field and Forest Products.

Rick Byrd, Belmont Basketball Guest: Rick Byrd, Belmont Basketball Head Coach In this week’s basketball coaching conversation, Belmont University head coach Rick Byrd joins the podcast. Coach Byrd ranks fifth among all active NCAA Division I head coaches in career victories with 754, and stands first among all active non-Power 5 coaches. Some of the many highlights of the podcast include discussions on building a program with staying power, skip passes and offensive efficiency at the rim. Head Coach Rick Byrd has been a model of consistency. Under Byrd, Belmont has reached postseason play in 11 of the last 12 seasons, including seven automatic berths to the NCAA Tournament.

Last year, R&D changed the structure of how we make Magic cards. In this podcast, I explain the change and introduce the three new parts of Magic design in R&D.

In this episode, I’m talking to Dan Burdick, the lead of Play Design, a new division of R&D for Magic: The Gathering. While Mark Rosewater is trying to break the game, Dan and his crazy team of wizards is making sure Magic stays functional and playable. Dan considers all the cards available in the game of Magic to make up the physics engine that governs the MTG universe. He uses this unique way of thinking to balance the play environment for players. Dan has a motley crew of spell slinging professionals to help him make sure Kitty Combo doesn’t happen again… Melissa DeTora, Paul Cheon, Andrew Brown, Ian Duke, Bryan Hawlee, Adam Prosak, and Andrew Veen are the members of the new Play Design team. Stick around to the end so you can find out how to get a special signed card from Dan Burdick himself! Hey listeners, I’m excited for a special Patreon supporters gift from Dan Burdick. I have copies of Felidar Guardian signed by Dan Burdick. It’s a little funny, it’s a little troll. And it’s Dan’s way of telling the community that R&D owns up to its mistakes and is looking forward to a bright future with Play Design.

In this BIGGEST episode yet, I have a discussion on the 2014 solitaire PnP design contest with Chris Hansen & Todd Sanders.  This was originally recorded as a Google Hangounts conversation and the video can be watched on YouTube.Alas, I am no expert and I had audio issues.  Hopefully they don't distract from your enjoyment too much.  Contrary to the appearances, I am not chewing tabacco. YouTube video of chat2014 Solitaire PnP Design ContestPrint 'n Play geeklist for Junegames-icons.net

So, we’ve talked about what happens on stage and how it all sounds, but what about how it looks? That’s important, too, and the scenic designer, costume designer, lighting designer, and choreographer all help create the look and feel of a show.
