Paris Gondo is an RPG about the joy of getting rid of what you don’t need and drags you down. I have known about this game since before it came out and had the enormous pleasure of playing it when it was still under development. Now, after a few months of further tweaking and some great improvements, it’s out for you to enjoy and I wanted to talk to Kalum about it because… Well… you’ll find out because in the interview… Visit Paris Gondo’s website here. Here is what the author’s site has to say: A Simple Effective Play-Based Method To Banish Encumbrance Forever This game is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to encumbrance rules and other tropes found in beloved dungeon-crawling games.   It is a GM-less storytelling game for 3 to 6 players, designed to be played in a few hours with polyhedral dice and no preparation.   Players in this game embody Adventurers who, as a group called a Party, have reached the last level of a Dungeon and defeated the Boss who presided over it. Play starts as Adventurers discover Loot you

This episode features an interview with Christoffer Sevaldsen, author and designer of Black Void, a terrific RPG I read last year that made to the top 10 list.   It took me a while to read the book because it is pretty huge, but there isn’t a single page that is not worth reading. Being one of the most Planescape games I have read since Planescape, I think it has a lot to offer and people should pay a lot of attention to it.   I wanted to ask Christoffer about the origins, how he’s developed the game, what was the idea behind the setting and mechanics and what’s going to happen from now on.
