Episode 65: Enjoy Your 1000 Indie Games a Month

Hive Scum

Show Notes

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO, jump in the car, we're going GAMING. Today we are digging a little deeper into good piece of "beef" that Steve got for the "submit your beef" call he put out: How do your measure success in an indie game? I summarized the whole submission here - but there are a LOT of games out there, and there seems to be no end to it. Which ones are winners and which ones are losers, and does it even really matter at all? On top of that Gage went to Chicago to a sick little gig in a cemetery and gives us the play-by-play. Steve tells us about running a Flames of Orion game at a coffee shop and running it as an RPG. Terry painted up 500 pts of Black Templar for 3rd Edition and says Streaking Grime is good (shocker).

Just like last ep, come over to the In Rust We Trust Discord if you have thoughts, because this was a great discussion to have, and we'd love to continue it.

Under the Dice Fest in the rear-view and today we've get to talkin' about two of the most hyped up and fun events of the weekend. Phil's Ortlvar and Shane's Bleed events. You get to hear how they went, and what they would do different. On top of that there's a bit of build up to ArcaneCon , which will have already happened by this point - and a bit of reflection about UTD2026. Peace!

Recorded just a few days before the worlds premiere freak fest, we've cajoled a couple of jet lagged and couch ridden friends, Tyler (@billion_dollar_clown_farm) and Noé (@noe.hammer) to record with us. We're talking shop and bullshitting before the big event is set to begin! Hope to see you all there :)
