Episode 15: Game designer Jason Brooks on running and fulfilling a Kickstarter campaign

Jason Brooks, designer of Legacies and owner of Brookspun Games

For the 15th episode of the podcast Clark talks to Jason Brooks, owner of Brookspun games and creator of the new board game Legacies. Legacies was Kickstarted in 2019 and is going out to backers soon.

Jason talks Clark through the entire development process of Legacies: from coming up with the design to playtesting to his decision to self-publish via Kickstarter. Then you’ll hear about the entire process of Kickstarting, manufacturing and fulfilling the pledges for Legacies.

Clark also asks Jason about the inspiration for his epic new game, why he chose to publish the game himself and he asks Jason to name the things he did right and wrong throughout the process. Finally, in the minigame questionnaire, Jason invokes his inner rules lawyer and picks the game he most wants to recommend for others to play.
