    Chainsaw - MÖRK BORG meets Slasher Movies! Games Designer Interview with Matthew Myslinski

    Chainsaw - MÖRK BORG meets Slasher Movies! Games Designer Interview with Matthew Myslinski We want to play a game! That game is Chainsaw, a slasher horror tabletop roleplaying game from the Driftwood Archives currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter.

    Powered by MÖRK BORG, the Chainsaw RPG allows you to step into the quaking boots of the victims in horror films such as Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween, and Friday the 13th. We sat down with games designer Matthew Myslinski to discuss horror franchises, using genre tropes in your TTRPGs, getting your gaming table to try new games, heavy metal, and the wonderful MÖRK BORG Community.

  • Tales of the Old West RPG | Designer Interview

    Tales of the Old West RPG | Designer Interview
    Sep 28 2024
    Howdy, pardners! Tales of the Old West is an upcoming tabletop RPG from Effekt Publishing, and we were lucky enough to grab an interview with designers Dave Semark and Matthew Tyler-Jones of Effekt Publishing. Conversation on the game itself begins in earnest at (24:40)

    The buffalo of conversation roams across topics such as the Mutant Year Zero Free Tabletop Licence (FTL), working for Free League, getting started as a writer for TTRPGS, their Effekt and Effekt AP podcasts, writing the wonderful Hope’s Last Day scenario for Alien: The Roleplaying Game, and winning a Gold ENNIE award for the Alien RPG sourcebook Building Better Worlds.

    Dave and Matthew have come a long way from their days selling ‘zines for 80s Games Workshop RPGs and have successfully funded Tales of the Old West on Kickstarter.
