Tales of the Old West RPG | Designer Interview
5Howdy, 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.
