You said in the podcast that there was going to be a link to a video of the flip-book art, and I was wondering where I could find that. This book looks AMAZING, and I’m definitely going to try and get my hands on a copy. Another awesome show, guys!
Another great episode. Loved listening to Mr. Raggi wax poetic on his Lamentation of the Flame Princess.
Glad to hear that Ed enjoyed Gottacon, it’s a great con!
When I hear LotFP designer James Raggi say he thinks Soloman Kane is cooler than Conan, I know this guy is gaming somewhere in the same wheelhouse as I! Checking out his blog posts only confirmed it. Bravo.
I gotta say, once he made that assertion, though, he should never have admited the inspiration for the game was some heavy metal fangirl from the 1990s — I would have said it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to REH’s Dark Agnes — who is much cooler than Red Sonya, I must add — and also very Old School!
I found James’ position on his art choices refreshing. While I probably fall into a camp that prefers my gaming art to be more — inclusive — and prefer the characters to be shown wearing armor of a tamer and practical nature — I respect a publisher who says: This is what I like, this is what inspires me, my roots are in heavy metal, and I offer it because it might inspire you, too. Frankly, there should be room in our industry for a variety of tastes.
So Ed reads — and enjoys — poetry? I didn’t know your literary leanings were so broad and deep, brother. I salute you on your choices and keep drawing inspiration from whatever verse moves you.
I haven’t finished listening to this episode, yet — saving Rone’s rant for when I share his mood!
Excellent episode.
I really love reading your long, thoughtful comments, Troy. It’s been too long since we’ve had a chance to hang out. (5 months?) I look forward to rolling dice with you at Gen Con.
Ed, should the gaming — and employment — gods permit, I would enjoy that immensely.
BTW: Got a great chuckle from Rone’s rant. And yes, kids + restaurants is a often a bad formula.
Great podcast guys! As a heads up, I tried to enter your contest but your servers (mail and webpage) were down for quite a while on the 1st of March and email is still bouncing back as ‘failed’.
‘contest@atomicarray.com’ is still bouncing back as a bad address. This was the email address that you requested contest submissions to be sent to?
