Show043: Interview with Andrea Sfiligoi
This is the last of my Origins interviews. This interview is with Andrea Sfiligoi, creator of Song of Blades and Heroes, which was an Origins award nominee. It came about due to Paul Czege’s sharp eye as we were looking at the Origins awards nominees. Paul pointed out that one of the minatures games didn’t seem to have a publisher, just an author. We both thought it was cool to see an Indie minature game designer and I decided to see if we could hunt Andrea down and see if he was at Origins. Half an hour later as I talked with different Origins folks we found out he was there and set up this interview.
I really enjoyed talking with Andrea… after the end of this recording I think we spent a good 3 hours or more talking about Italy, America, Politics, and Metaphysics.

Just when I thought you couldn´t be any more awesome (Thor´s interview was marvelous) you go and interview the coolest indie wargame designer in town.

Dude. This interview was the bomb. Learning about the linguistic elements of rules design was worth the price of admission. And that price is FREE! Could it be any more awesome?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, re: Familiar; check out _A Night in the Lonesome October_ by Roger Zelazny, in which the familiars of various arcane personages conspire to save the world from the Elder Gods. It’s one of my favorite books evar.
