Scott: Dark Sun (http://www.wizards.com/DnD/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/253870000) almost made me buy 4th Ed. Once again, JohnKelly really isn't funny.

EDIT: yeah, so the thing I posted before was idiotic and informed more by my sleepiness than actual desire to share about content. Spooky Outhouse (http://spookyouthouse.com/index.php), the collective of podcasts (or whatever they call themselves) of which we are willing member-sheep sets up their showcase on a somewhat regular basis. The idea is to get together hosts from a number of different gaming podcasts to talk about a topic. This time around Todd, the Nathan Explosion of Chicago, took part in the discussion (How can you talk about your character without making people want to die? What games are you afraid to play?). The conversation is pretty good, and Todd did an admirable job of making us appear more than barely coherent and capable of interacting like normal human beings. All in all, a fun listen, y'all should have a go! Locate the spooky outhouse page for this here (http://showcase.spookyouthouse.com/archives/42). And yes, Scott, I did in fact use YOUR word.

Corey Konieczka from Fantasy Flight Games at the @Spot Cafe Special thanks to Nate and the Chicago Boardgames Meetup Group for setting this whole shindig up! Massive Apologies for the poor sound quality and the sound of people making delicious drinks and food. Part One: Fantasy Flight & Corey Konieczka General The Questions How did you get the job? What job were you doing before? What was the interview like? What was your first project there? How many projects do you find yourself working on at once? Whats the general timeline of a project? How big was your team for the Battlestar Galactica Board Game? What were your trouble spots and how did you get around them? How important is art to designing a game? When playtesting a game, do you test with an open market or an internal team? Do you feel there is a value in testing to a general population who is not as interested in gaming? Walk us through a day in the life of Corey Konieczka. What does your day in the life look like two days away from deadline? Whats with the Fantasy Flight Rule Book? When working with a major franchise how much involvement is there? Our own J.P. asks: Is there going to be a second expansion for Battlestar? Lexx asks: When you are doing an expansion, how much do you have mechanics in mind? When playtesting, how much money goes into components? (I drop the recorder, sorry) What city are you guys in and how do you become and intern? Are the expansion runs smaller than the base game? Whats your most challenging project to date? Where do you start with a game based off a franchise? As a game designer, how do you keep your enthusiasm up? Do you know what you budget is for a game? Do you typically create the mechanics of the game and the design? How has gaming been affected by the general economic state? Do you see the global market becoming more of a factor and does that affect how you design games? How often do you get “no”? How is it working on a team? If you got the license for something that you weren’t familiar with, would you go home and watch it? How do shake off bad game reviews? What causes Fantasy Flight games to be heavy themed? J.P.: Whats your favorite non-Fantasy Flight game? Whats your favorite Fantasy Flight game? Part Two: The Battlestar Galactica Pegasus Expansion & Middle Earth Quest We start off by having Corey show up plastic figures for both the Pegasus Expansion and Middle Earth Quest. Questions J.P.: Is there a burn the hobbits mechanic? Is there any influence from the fan film the Hunt for Gollum? Have you heard when the Peter Jackson Movie is coming out? What do you see following this up? J.P.: Is there any possibility of there being more than 4 players? How much is it? How does the expansion affect the play time of the base game? Lexx: Can you play all three together for an epic game? How big is it and how much does it cost? Is it the same number of players? Will the final versions of the miniatures be metal or plastic? Are they plastic due to the cost to manufacture? Will the expansion improve the three player game? It wouldn’t be a Jank Cast Episode if J.P.’s phone didn’t ring.
