This episode Clark talks to Ken Hite, freelance writer and role-playing game designer. Hear about how he discovered RPGs and grew from player to dungeon master. You’ll also hear how his discovery of the classic RPG Call of Cthulhu changed how he looked at role-playing and eventually turned into years of campaigns and a job working in the industry. Ken talks about how his approach to RPGs has changed over the years, why the Lovecraft mythos is perfect for role-playing, his LOVE of research, and what goes into his process when he’s asked to design and contribute to games like Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition and his own Trail of Cthulhu and Nights Black Agents.
