In this episode, I talk to Zach Cox, founder of Soul Muppet Publishing.They are also the designer or co-designer of sad adventurer game Best Left Buried, sad Arthurian gunslinger game Inevitable, and sad vampire game Paint the Town Red. They also worked at Rowan Rook & Decard for a while. But the big news is that the scifi sad space cowboy game Orbital Blues (that they co-created) is getting its own month-long crowdfunding event at Backerkit, with both Soulmuppet and other designers making  supplements and adventures for the game.

In this episode, I talk to Gabriel and Le, filmmakers and VFX artists based in Canada. They run the Youtube channel, Weird Place, which has a very cool series about games and game histories around the world as well as actual play, video essays, guides and more. They also make games: they funded and released Fluff n Fury last year, a cyberpunk rpg where you play chromed up teddy bears, and this year for Zinemonth, they're crowdfunding Residue, a solo scifi survival game set in a weird non-Euclidean world.

His graphic design work has been recognised by the Best Awards, Tokyo Design Week and the International Society of Typographic Designers. He's also the co-author of We Are Here: An Atlas of Aotearoa, which was shortlisted for the Ockham NZ Book Awards.
Through Old Dog Games, he's published free RPG products like a hack of Band of Blades for playing in the Warhammer old world and last year, a hack for Twilight 2000 to play Andor. And recently, he's partnered with Evil Hat to release Deathmatch Island, a battle royale adaptation of Agon, and crowdfunding now, Blades '68, an expansion for the seminal Blades in the Dark.
