Chatting design with Tom is an utter delight, so to do it on the podcast for the benefit of others was a real treat. There’s a particular kind of humble methodicalness in his approach to design that I admire and he goes to great lengths in this ep sharing his process. Enjoy!

I hadn't played KCD1, so KCD2 completely stunned me by quickly becoming one of my favourite RPGs of all time. What Prokop and the Warhorse team are delivering, in such a packed genre, at such economical scale, is beyond all reason. Plenty of gold in here! Don't miss it.
