Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
We are overjoyed to bring you this week’s episode with tabletop designer, producer, GM and performer Elliot Davis!
Elliot’s name may be familiar to our listeners as one of the co-founders of Many Sided Media, helping create shows like My First Dungeon and Talk of the Table.
He is ALSO a successful game designer, including Rom Com Drama Bomb, Project Ecco, Abominations, and Welcome to the Silly Goose Convention. He is also currently crowdfunding The Time We Have, a tragic zombie game about two brothers in an apocalypse on opposite sides of a closed door saying goodbye.
We have a GREAT conversation about getting specific in your game design, working with people you care about, learning what to leave out, and just generally living an artistic life. It’s a really special conversation, and I got a lot out of it that I’ll be carrying with me for a long time, and I hope you all will too.
As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
We have links to the things that Elliot and I talk about in the show notes, including links to CURRENTLY FUNDING The Time We Have, please pause this episode and go back it now.
With that - thanks for listening!

Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
This week we got to interview TTRPG video essayist, reviewer, writer, and author Aaron Voigt.
Aaron is someone I had been up until now kind of tangentially appreciative of - his video essays and TTRPG reviews are some of my true favorites in the space. He brings so much of himself and his experiences to his work, and engages with games on both mechanical and emotional, thematic levels.
We talk about his new book and associated TTRPG Detente for the Ravenous, which I got the pleasure to read through some of before the interview and is available RIGHT now over on Aaron’s Itch page.
We also touched on keeping stories contained and painful, the impacts of reviewing indie games, when enough is enough, Pope Henry Kissinger releasing sin kaiju, exploring complex topics like real world history and religion in tabletop, and so much more.
As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
PLEASE go check it and all of Aaron’s great video essays, including a lot of familiar faces of Reckless A-Talk guests from the past.
Thanks for listening!

Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
I am as always your host GM Nathan, I use he/him pronouns, and this week I got to expand my mind and laugh a lot with renowned game designer Spencer Campbell of Gila RPGs!
That name is possibly familiar to longtime Reckless A-Talk listeners, as he and his games have been listed as a huge inspirations for several of our guests.
Spencer is a design whirlwind, and has put out several really diverse, unique, and award-winning games over the last few years. That includes the punchy LUMEN system and Creator Kit, HUNT a game about a doomed knightly order going on a final quest, the monster hunting game SLAYERS, and the solo souls-like game REAP.
Seriously, that’s just a portion of what he’s written, and SO MANY of them take really novel approaches with what is fun about games. Sometimes there’s no dice, no health, loot pools, approaches instead of skills, all kinds of really good stuff that we get to talk about in this episode.
Plus we talk a lot about the importance of connection in the TTRPG space, trying to protect your sanity online, his background in cognitive psychology and, as usual, tons more.
AS OF THIS EPISODE his latest game LOOT all about fantastical item gathering, combat, exploration and base building is crowdfunding. I am SUPER excited to see that full release, which we get into during this chat. Links to that and everything we talked about are in the show notes, as always.
If you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
With that - I’ll see you next time! Enjoy.

Finally, a day off for our Guilders to just relax and not do anything too stressful. Maybe a quick visit to see some old acquaintances? Some nice meditation practice with fellow Guilders? A quick trip to the Library to do some research? I’m sure nothing life-changing could happen to multiple Guilders in just ONE episode, right? Right?

Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
I am as always your host GM Nathan, I use he/him pronouns, and this week we are joined by the polyhyphenate TTRPG powerhouse known best Drakoniques!
They do a little bit of almost everything in the tabletop space. Well, a lot of almost everything. He has performed in, produced for and written a ton of diverse projects over the last few years, including stints on My First Dungeon, Unprepared Casters, and the recently concluded Planet Arcana miniseries A Fool’s Errand. They’ve also written on several tabletop projects, including an adventure for the Dr. Who Roleplaying Game, Fat Magic, and the Deimos Academy.
AND they are an accomplished producer, putting together the genuinely excellent Beyond the Brook miniseries, among - and stop me if you’ve heard this before - many, many other cool projects.
They are so wonderfully open combating social anxiety and the power of compliments, the essential skill of asking for help, and finding playground joy with your friends.
As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
Thanks for listening!
