Show037: Interview with Mike Holmes
This is the first of the RPG recordings I made at Forge Midwest. I only made two, but I got to play some games and it was sweet. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to talk to Mike since last year but have kept dropping the ball. We discuss why you can’t reward Simulationism, the game he is working on called Other Worlds, and quite a few other things. We recorded in a room covered in tile with a loud refrigerator, I tried to take the refrigerator noise out, but didn’t want to be too aggressive to prevent robot voices. Hopefully it worked, although you folks with expensive headphones might be pissed off. Ha. Macklin.
I may have more to say later… although I never seem to follow through with that.
Hi.
I liked this ep quite a bit, and I appreciated the discussion on simulationism, which is not frequently discussed these days. I was a bit disappointed that you backed off of immersionism — I really wanted you and Mike to launch into a 2nd hour of discussion about that!
Thanks for the show.

Hey Jason,
Thanks. I made Show041 to address this comment. It has a bit of me (no Mike) talking about Immersion and why it’s confusing, and why I guess it isn’t part of the Big Model. Hopefully 1/2 is better than none.
