Show023: Interview with Darren Watts
We’re back. The site has been transferred to the new computer and as promised here is a new show. I sat down with Darren Watts, President of Hero Games at Gen Con. We talked about how Hero is designed as a very large toolkit, what the heck Indie means, and several Hero products. If you hear a repetitive thumping that’s Darren punctating his speech by thumping his hand on the desk in karate chop motion. Kind of like those 70’s Steve Austin dolls. He might have had to buy the hotel a new desk, but it was certainly indicative of his passion for Hero.

No offence intended to Mr Watts, but the words chip and shoulder do come to mind when listening to this interview. It’s an interesting point about what constitutes ‘indie’, but as Bill S. said, “he doth protest too much’.
Still loving the show Clyde, always fun to hear what you have to say. You seem to have veered away from deconstructing some of that indie-speak that was your original objective - I’d like to hear some more of that. How about a slot in each show where you do one or two terms and discuss and define them?
Hi Paul,
I think I may have been a bit responsible for the rant, as when I met Darren I said something along the lines of; you will be the first non-indie folks I’ve interviewed.
I hear you about the theory stuff, I’m clearing out the interviews, three more to go, and then I’ll have about two months of me talking to myself in the closet before Dreamation. I’m thinking about next year going to every week officially and doing one theory show and one interview show. I’ll likely be talking about that on the show sometime in the future also.
