    design, games, indie, publishing, reflections, rpgs, theory, transitions

    In this episode I talk about transitions and giving myself time to mindfully reflect in my work and goals. It's also kind of a "state of the podcast." I don't address any particular listener questions in this one, but would love to hear other's thoughts on these ideas!

    In this episode I address a comment about what I'm working on, and questions about where I get my ideas, and when I go to playtesting. Thankfully, I'm able to do so by talking about my current project, WHITE, one of my three color games from the Break Kickstarter initiative.
