Show007: Interview with James Brown

This week is the third interview from Forge Midwest. On deck is James Brown, creator of Brick Battles, Death’s Door, and an upcoming game Blood and Bronze. We talk mainly about his games, especially Death’s Door. I found it especially interesting to see how well all of his mechanics have been considered. We also discussed death, and the ability of roleplaying games to affect peoples lives.

There may be a bit of hiss on this and the next interview. I had the microphone levels too low so I had to amplify the sound quite a bit. Live and Learn.
