I talk with the award-winning creators of the tabletop roleplaying games Mouse Guard, Torchbearer, and Burning Wheel (among others) about their unique approach to game design, the art bringing stories to life at the table, the role of monsters in quests and adventures, and the monstrous nature of humanity itself. Luke Crane is also Head of Games at Kickstarter, and Thor Olavsrud is also Senior Writer for CIO.com. Check out their games at www.burningwheel.com and supplements at www.torchbearerrpg.com
