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. Our waiter, however, seems a bit more concerned that Ignacy is barely eating. Little does he know, Ignacy sustains himself with storytelling, potatoes, and onions.
Welcome back to an interview dinner with Portal Games founder and designer Ignacy Trzewiczek, that I was lucky enough to hold during Dice Tower East 2022. Ignacy was describing the gaming scene in post-communist Poland around 1991; Role Playing Games were heard of, magazines were starting to come out, but there were no games as …
We are nearing the end of a fantastic lunch at Oceana in Reno. Eminent designer Eric Lang and I are talking through the designer’s transition from the early days of Fantasy Flight, into Cool Mini or Not and beyond. The food is nearly gone, and satiety evolves into nostalgia.
Welcome back to lunch with designer Eric M. Lang. We are dining at Oceano in the Peppermill Resort during GAMA Expo 2022.

Welcome back to my lunch with Eric Lang during GAMA 2022 in Reno, Nevada. Eric has always been an outspoken voice in the board game industry, quick to point out injustice or insensitivity. I decided early on that I would leave our conversation intact, and allow it to just flow organically. And we do touch …
When I very first started Sice Tower Dish, I made a short list of designers I would really like to go have a meal with. And since the beginning, Eric Lang was on that list. Eric Lang is responsible for so many modern classics, I don’t even know where to start. Dice Masters, Blood Rage, …
And so here it is, the final installment of dinner with Christian T. Petersen during GenCon 2021. I have to admit, I was a bit nervous having a meal with one of the biggest influences on the hobby, the personification of boardgaming buisness. But Christian was affable, charismatic, delightful, and well… downright goofy. I truly …
Welcome back to dinner with Christian T. Petersen, founder of Fantasy Flight Games, designer of Twilight Imperium, and a pretty goofy dude. Dinner is winding down, the plates have been cleared, and negotiations over coffee are about to commence.
Welcome back to steak dinner with true board game magnate Christian T Petersen. I know I have used the term “magnate” before, but it just fits so well. We are at Weber Grill in Indianapolis, during GenCon 2021, just hanging, talking business. It is a strange juxtaposition for me, as I know quite a bit …
