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)<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />If you want to see us in action playing the game, head over to <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/episode/tales-of-the-old-west-cowboy-kickstarter-exclusive-re-upload--61745071" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spreaker</a> or <a href="https://youtu.be/mihjIRlqp_k?si=6tn8q6ScPZrdlim3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">YouTube</a><br />Click to join the Kickstarter - <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/effekt/tales-of-the-old-west" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kickstarter</a><br />Free quickplay rules! <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/480951/tales-of-the-old-west-quickdraw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tales of the Old West Quick Draw</a> <br />More from Effekt - <a href="https://www.effektpublishing.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Effekt Publishing</a> - <a href="https://www.effektpodcast.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Effekt Podcast</a> - <a href="https://www.effektap.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Effect AP Podcast</a><br />Find this episode in video form <a href="https://youtu.be/nn9RYoscHig" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a> <br />Consider listening to our Actual Play podcast, Roll In The Dark, <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/roll-in-the-dark-an-actual-play-podcast--6167997" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HERE</a><br />Check out all our releases, merch, and more at <a href="http://www.criticaltwits.comv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.criticaltwits.com</a>
