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 to another from the lost archives of dinners with Corey. Back in July of 2022, during Dice Tower East, when we thought the world was going back to normal, I was fortunate enough to corner one Ignacy Trzewiczek, founder of Portal Games, designer of Robinson Crusoe, Imperial Settlers, and many more. Before you ask …
Welcome back to breakfast with designer Luke Laurie and Cardboard Alchemy owner Peter Vaughan. We have recently escaped from the KublaCon Convention space, and wandered to Peter’s Cafe, much to the joy of Peter, who may be expecting royal treatment. Peter’s son James certain expects it.

The designer of Twilight Imperium, founder of Fantasy Flight Games, and most recently, CEO of Asmodee. The Dice Tower booth at GenCon was across from a retail booth, putting games on display for …
Welcome back to the last part of my dinner with Gloomhaven and Frosthaven designer, Sir Isaac Childres. He has not been officially knighted as of yet, but I anticipate big things to come. I know what you are thinking – “Only 4 parts! What happened?” Honestly, I think I just misjudged how large to make …
Here I am, at GenCon 2021, theoretically the return to normality. True, everyone is masked and the attendance is nearly half of previous years. But this is the return to normality.
