Design Games – Ep 42 – Iteration

We are Nathan Paoletta and Will Hindmarch. We design games. On the Design Games podcast, we talk from our different backgrounds about designing games from ideation to publication, focusing on analog experiences like tabletop RPGs. Listen in as we find out what we know and think about games. We don't always agree and it's awesome.
