On their way to the Shattered Abyss, the Guilders finally have some time to figure out what the Shepard gave them and, more importantly, figure out what’s up with Junior’s brand new racing stripes. But travel in Ryxia is dangerous on a normal day, and even more so when you are headed to the site of the last battle between the allied forces of the Dragons and the Saints against the combined forces of the Ultra-Giants and the First-Ones.

Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we got to talk to the amazing game designer and artistic person in general Viditya Voleti.
He is a game design educator who has been releasing games for several years now as both a prolific indie designer and freelancer for places like Paizo, Possum Creek Games, Evil Hat Productions, and tons more.
He is also a very fun, funny, and thoughtful former art student whose preferred genre of game appears to be “all of them.”
All this wrapped up into a really fascinating and inspirational and aspirational conversation about learning to fail, knowing who you are making games for, the concept of artistic studies in game design, and I think most crucially the attitude that when you make something, you’re always taking a step forward.
His latest game, A Land Once Magic, is a worldbuilding deck and conversation piece that is crowdfunding right now.
We have links to the crowdfunder and all the other things Viditya and I talk about in the show notes. As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
With that - thanks for listening!

I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we are joined by a really special guest who essentially excels at every aspect of TTRPG performance and production, Eli aka aghostofeli from Mayday Roleplay!
Eli was an early connection we made in the TTRPG space, and immediately stood out for their abilities and instincts as a performer and professional sound designer editor. And over the years since, he has been a wonderful force for good in the space, further cementing my admiration of her.
This is such a great episode, especially for those of us who are trying to balance our creative work with life, friendship, burnout, and the general weight of being. Eli and I chat about the editing process, collaboration, peer and community building, making your process sustainable, identity, and oh so much more.
Eli is genuinely one of my favorite folks, and I think you’ll enjoy your time with her as much as I did.
As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
We have links to the things that Eli and I talk about in the show notes, including to the always excellent shows over at Mayday Roleplay and his game design work.
With that - thanks for listening!

Welcome to the sixth Reckless Attack Tale Til Now Episode, summarizing events at the Waveless Lake and the discoveries made there.
We know getting into a new podcast with a big backlog can be a tall task. To give interested folks some nice jumping in points, we're publishing end-of-arc recap episodes highlighting the important story moments from the past handful of episodes.
They'll be designed so you can listen to a couple of these and have a good understanding of where things are in the Reckless Attack plot - though of course nothing beats going back and listening to the original episodes!
We hope you enjoy, and thanks for listening!
Are you ready to brave the darkness? Then join the Reckless Attack crew through a one-shot of Shadowdark RPG! This award-winning RPG provides an old-school vibe that is accessible for those familiar with D&D 5e. If you want the rest of the adventure, head over to our Patreon and sign up for the Pile o' Frogs tier for this and other Reckless Adjacents!

Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.
We are overjoyed to bring you this week’s episode with tabletop designer, producer, GM and performer Elliot Davis!
Elliot’s name may be familiar to our listeners as one of the co-founders of Many Sided Media, helping create shows like My First Dungeon and Talk of the Table.
He is ALSO a successful game designer, including Rom Com Drama Bomb, Project Ecco, Abominations, and Welcome to the Silly Goose Convention. He is also currently crowdfunding The Time We Have, a tragic zombie game about two brothers in an apocalypse on opposite sides of a closed door saying goodbye.
We have a GREAT conversation about getting specific in your game design, working with people you care about, learning what to leave out, and just generally living an artistic life. It’s a really special conversation, and I got a lot out of it that I’ll be carrying with me for a long time, and I hope you all will too.
As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.
We have links to the things that Elliot and I talk about in the show notes, including links to CURRENTLY FUNDING The Time We Have, please pause this episode and go back it now.
With that - thanks for listening!
