Who, What, Why S33.E08 :: Wicked Ones with Ben Nielsen

Aug 15, 2022

Ben Nielsen (@BanditCampGames), designer of Wicked Ones RPG and head of Bandit Camp publishing, joined me to discuss his game with its latest Kickstarter for both a full print run and an expansion called Undead Awakening. This game puts you in control of the monsters of the dungeon rather than the heroes. We discussed a number of topics such as how Ben, who lives in Japan, has funded his RPG work so far, how a designer builds on other RPG systems such as Powered By the Apocalypse and Forged in the Dark, and how story games put the players in the driver's seat (and why that's important).

If you are interested in Ben's latest Kickstarter, you can check it out at this link. As of this posting, there are 16 days left.
