In the previous issue of Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy, Darker Days Radio, especially episode 71, got a shout out by Warhammer creator Rick Priestly. Quite the honour really as the article actually concerns a question we posed to Andy Chambers and Tuomas Pirinen.
In Strix Confidence - An Interview with Simon Berman
In this Darkling we interview Simon Berman. Simon recently finished his time at Privateer Press and has established
Strix Publishing.
Jason Soles some may know already is lead developer at Privateer Press, for the games Warmachine, Hordes, and Iron Kingdoms RPG. Jason is also one of the creators of Unhallowed Metropolis.
So sit back and listen to us talk all about Strix Publishing, APOCRYPHA, Jason Soles, and the future for Strix.
(please ignore the pause in the audio at the 45 min mark or so - missing audio will be fixed later.)
