| 29 Oct 2024 | Reckless A-Talk: Aaron Voigt (Video essayist, game designer, author) | 01:23:38 | |
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!

| 25 May 2023 | Reckless A-Talk: Candace the Magnificent (Performer, writer, sensitivity writer, Ennies judge) | 01:47:48 | |
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 had the pleasure of interviewing the, well, magnificent Candace the Magnificent! Candace is a powerhouse of creativity in and out of the TTRPG space. As a player, they are known for their colorful and memorable characters (as well as the colorful and memorable costumes she often wears to represent them), but they do it all, including writing, sensitivity reading, game running, writing, serving as an Ennies awards judge, and much more. In today’s interview, we talk about how she leaves room for growth in their characters, knowing your needs, the gift of connection, taking accountability, and doing emotional labor for those who can’t. Among, as always, a great many other things.

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.

They also manage to just be a really lovely, thoughtful, and charismatic person on the side.

Greetings, and 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 are joined by one of our favorite folks in the TTRPG space, Will Malkus of not for profit TTRPG studio Live From The Apocalypse. Will is an excellent performer, storyteller and presence on his channel and in the TTRPG sphere. He is notably very present in his performances, and makes storytelling, player empowerment and evocative character portrayals look easy. We have long appreciated the work their channel does for charity - encouraging people to donate directly to nonprofits they fundraise for and not compensate them at all - as well as their perspectives on a wide number of things, particularly in creating art here in late stage capitalism. Long story short, Will is an absolute joy of a person and one of my favorites, and this conversation was a joy as well.

They are most known as the co-director for Sina Una, an extremely robust and colorful crowdfunded D&D compatible campaign setting based on Fillipino mythology and history. The Sina Una team just recently completed a new kickstarter for an adventure book in the setting. We hit on their lifelong love of D&D to the great lengths they went to to track down Filipino cultural information, to colonialism to being on Critical Role to the mortifying ordeal of being known. Enjoy!

| 04 Jun 2024 | Reckless A-Talk: Lex from TitanomachyRPG (Caltrop Core, Nighthawks) | 01:28:38 | |
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 I am so happy to present to you this frankly long overdue, very inspirational and very fun interview with game designer and shitpost legend and marketing extraordinaire Lex from TitanomachyRPG. We talk about this a little during the actual episode, but Lex started a little ahead of us in the tabletop gaming space, and was always someone I personally looked up to. Super creative, hardworking, consistent, and generally generous with their time and expertise. Plus, incredibly funny and thoughtful. Lex has designed many games across a variety of genres and systems, but they are probably best known for their Caltrop Core System Reference Document or SRD. As of last count at the publishing of this episode, more than 230 games have been published through Caltrop Core and the document has been downloaded more than 2000 times. In this episode, we talk about Caltrop Core, but also about self-expression, depression, perseverance, the importance of failure and growth, and shitposting. 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.

| 24 Sep 2024 | Reckless A-Talk: Spencer Campbell (Game Designer - Gila RPGs) | 01:41:24 | |
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. — Edited by Nathan Lurz and Jonathan Zhang — LINKS

| 25 Mar 2025 | Reckless A-Talk: Viditya Voleti - Game Designer (A Land Once Magic, Bloodbeam Badlands, Space Between Stars) | 01:11:23 | |
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 got to talk to the amazing game designer and artistic person in general Viditya Voleti. He is a game design educator who has been releasing games for several years now as both a prolific indie designer and freelancer for places like Paizo, Possum Creek Games, Evil Hat Productions, and tons more. He is also a very fun, funny, and thoughtful former art student whose preferred genre of game appears to be “all of them.” All this wrapped up into a really fascinating and inspirational and aspirational conversation about learning to fail, knowing who you are making games for, the concept of artistic studies in game design, and I think most crucially the attitude that when you make something, you’re always taking a step forward. His latest game, A Land Once Magic, is a worldbuilding deck and conversation piece that is crowdfunding right now. We have links to the crowdfunder and all the other things Viditya and I talk about in the show notes.
