Rae Nedjadi on Identity

Antonis — Sat, 18 Nov 2023 09:26:24 +0000

In this month’s episode of the Ludogogy podcast, we’re talking to the guest most requested by our previous guests, who should know a thing or two about great game design! Helping us to explore the theme of ‘Identity’ is Rae Nedjadi, renowned TTRPG designer and creator of such games as BALIKBAYAN, Apocalypse Keys and Our Haunt, but whose back catalogue also includes dozens of other innovative play experiences, using resources like tarot cards, or framing play as ritual, for example. What all these diverse games have in common, though, is a rich vein of storytelling and belief in the transformative power of play. Tune in and discover why Rae is the game designers’ game designer!

Logan Timmins on Wellbeing

Logan Timmin’s most celebrated game, also called Logan, was hailed on its release as the ‘next step’ for lyric games; a genre which itself, is somewhat mould-breaking. These are games which can be played, in a traditional sense, but can also be experienced simply by reading. Focusing on storytelling, and themes of reflection and self-discovery, Logan’s games invite intimacy and connection, with oneself and others, making him ideal for June’s theme of Wellbeing. A fascinating discussion of how mechanics drive story, and some great game recommendations too, make this an episode not to be missed.

Jay Dragon on The Other

Our second Ludogogy podcast guest is Jay Dragon! Jay’s first published game was Sleepaway in 2019, which was about a group of queer camp counselors keeping kids safe in an uncertain world. In the few short years since then, Jay has been creating and publishing innovative games and building Possum Creek Games into a force to be reckoned with in the tabletop games world. Possum Creek’s games focus on building communities, engaging in ritual, and immersing oneself in shared fiction, and feature traveling animals, lonely ghosts, and an unusual Bed and Breakfast, among other intriguing things.
