Dirk, David, and Harrison tackle the mail bag after an exciting announcement about Rob's new company, Restoration Games. Restoration's goal is to reprint and modernize classic games that are no longer available. Our hosts go on to talk about games that are overproduced (as well as micro games), the concept of player choice vs. direction, and where to get all the shiny bits needed for prototyping. --------------------- Dirk Knemeyer - @DKnemeyer, www.artana.com, [email protected] Rob Daviau - @robdaviau Harrison Pink - [email protected], @colonialpink --------------------- Episode Outline
