I chat with Nathan Paoletta about game writing, mechanics, theory, and his excellent games “Carry” and “Annalise.” If you’re thinking about writing your own games, are dedicated gamer, or are just curious as to how a game about the wrenching era of Vietnam can lead to an afternoon of enjoyable entertainment, do not miss this interview.
Nathan’s gonna be at GenCon, so if you see him there, tell him “Hi” for me.
More info about Nathan’s games can be found at www.hamsterprophetproductions.com. “Annalise” has her own corner of the web, annalise.hamsterprophetproductions.com.

Geuse here is your go-to guy for dangerous missions. He is either fearless, or incredibly stupid. Geuse has become my favorite puppet ever since I realized he talks like a surfer-dude. A surfer-dude space pirate. With a giant raygun. Yes.
