Welcome back to the final segment of my much delayed interview with Ignacy Trzewiczek. The interview went right on time; the delay is that it took me nearly 2 years to write it up and present it in website format. And yes, I am still copy and pasting Ignacy’s last name. The food has come …

Welcome back to my dinner with Ignacy. The food has arrived, and I have been endlessly entertained by tales of an early gaming industry in Poland.

Welcome back to a lovely Indian feast with game designer and philosopher Henry Audubon. The food has arrived, and we are relaxed and rambling. Henry has started discussing his method for creativity, which is a bit different from the standard “create, iterate, edit” method in gaming.

I have recently escaped from the very end of RageCon in Sparks, Nevada with the designer of Parks, Trails and Cosmoctopus Henry Audubon, and we are enjoying a wonderful Indian feast. In reality, this all happened more than a year ago, but I’m pretending I’m right there. It was actually such a fun time, I …
