I’m finally about caught up on a series of conversations I had recorded nearly back to back! In this case, unfortunately the audio recording had issues and it took a while to put the audio tracks back in working order, fortunately Jason had recorded a backup on his side as well.
As mentioned in the conversation I first met Jason at GenCon in 2018, and have been meaning to have a conversation about his game designing since. We had a brilliant chat about coffee roasting, roleplaying game writing and design, some of his history, what he believes his game design is about, and some pointers for people interested in trying out tabletop roleplaying games.
“I’m trying to make memorable, emotionally moving games that make people think about serious issues so that we can use games to teach people how to be better humans through the incredible empathy building that is available in the roleplaying game hobby.”
