A number of talented women designers have published their own games over the last few years. This is the first time we’ve had the privilege to speak with one on the Array. We invited Danielle Lewon on to talk about Kagematsu, her game of love, honor, and shame set in feudal Japan. We also speak with Emily Care Boss about her magazine, RPGirl, that features women designers and publishers.

RPG Countdown (29 January 2010)

If you listened to Episode 13, you know that Ed’s a big fan of CthulhuTech. It’s been a little over a year since we featured its Lovecraftian Mecha Monstrosities on the Array, so we invited Matthew Grau, from WildFire, to come back on and give us an update on how the game’s changed.

Want to change genres, or just throw a curve-ball at your setting, but don’t want to throw everything out and start from scratch? Ever wonder how your necromancer would hold up in a cyberpunk world, or in a hard sci-fi setting? Savage Suzerain may be what you’re looking for. Based on the original Suzerain game, this version is for Savage Worlds. It’s fast, furious and fun!

We asked Zach Welhouse and Alan Neil Bundock, from Savage Mojo, to join us and talk about this great game.

The Suzerain Wiki is very detailed, with more information than we could possibly fit in this interview. Highly recommended.
