Quotes (from this video)
- "Today is not an announcement day."
- "I always learn a lot from playing with different people and it's nice to play sometimes with other designers because they offer a different perspective than um than than non-designers as well."
- "I think there are certain mechanisms that struggle to work at higher player counts, but they work at lower player counts."
- "I think that back and forth play uh and your ability to plan ahead and base your decision off of what the opponent is doing and hope for some them to do something or not to do something because you want to do something in response."
- "I think that maybe is a little bit of a sign that you might try to test it a little bit with some distance between you as the designer and the game."
- "I think that's one thing that online play testing can do a little bit where it adds that separation between you and the game because you got to keep in mind that if you want your game if you want thousands of people to play your game, you are not going to be there for every session."
- "I really really enjoyed that and thanks to my co-worker Susanna for teaching that one."
- "It really encapsulates how introversion feels in game form and gaming is one of my favorite outlets for me as an introvert."
- "I I don't necessarily think it needs the Awakened Realms treat treatment to make it cost three times as much and look beautiful but be significantly more expensive."
- "I love that idea. Um, so I I guess maybe I'll turn that answer around to you, Gary. Are there some games that you think are uh that are wonderful games that were held back by something that a publisher could revisit?"
- "I think the art for Libertalia is is great. And pretty crucially, I think it's important that the characters in Libertalia don't look like real people."
- "No, control there isn't an issue. Um, the only hesitancy is consideration for my co-workers time."
- "I think my take in general is for for for people who love to sleeve cards is we are always happy. We always welcome you to do that, but it isn't always necessarily our responsibility to make a box big enough to to fit sleeve cards."
- "It is heavier than the games that we publish."
- "I would probably go on a show where I don't have to lie to people and where people don't have to lie to each other."
