Deep Dive into Design Without the Pretense
Will Hindmarch & Nathan Paoletta both have impressive game design resumes, and while that informs the quality of this podcast, it really just establishes the baseline. Both hosts clearly *enjoy* thinking about and talking about the art and craft of game design. They are willing to dive deep into topics, but they remain firmly grounded in the understanding that the ultimate product is something played at a real table with real people. I find them entertaining, informative and inspirational. An episode does not pass where I don’t capture some note or other about something I want to try in my own designs. All high faulting stuff aside? They’re also delightfully terse. RPG podcasts tend to run *loooooooong*, which is a killer. A long episode for Design Games is a short episode of most other RPG shows. My schedule thanks them for it.

I know of no other show that goes in depth about every aspect of game design for small press and indie designers. The chemistry is awesome, subject matter is knowledgable and on point. Never miss a show!

I love this podcast and recommend listening to it from the beginning. They talk about game design in a clear and authentic way. Some podcasts I put on on the background while doing something else. Not this one.
