Diceology’s and gaming bestie Mad Jay Brown and I did a long, tricky podcast earlier this year, sometime after our joint special guest appearance at OrcCon. Maybe it’s this year, These Unprecedented Times, but we decided to drill deep on some tough topics: capitalism, evil races, safety and consent, lots of good stuff. Give it a listen, let me know what you think.
The shorter version is at Diceology. The longer, hotter, better version is at Patreon. Considering throwing him a buck or five a month, it’s good and it’s real.
Muses of Play: Powered By The Bakers (Broadcast Cut) – The Diceology Podcast
We sit down with the Bakers to talk about how games and art grow out of everyday family life. We dig into creative conflict, staying unstuck, and why shelving a project can be a sign of craft rather than failure. • building a household that supports making through space, tools, and tolerance for mess • handling creative disagreement by keeping vision ownership clear • collaborating across different styles from solitary drafting to talk-it-through ideation • separating feedback from co-opting, asking for help without losing control • switching modes with small rituals, momentum, and “one step closer” progress • letting unfinished work exist, then choosing what to keep or release • abandoning broken designs, saving parts, and avoiding years-long dead ends • finding creative community through weekly meetups, check-ins, and lightweight support structures Thank you so much for listening.
