At long last, Alex Macris is here for an overdue interview. Creator of #acks / Editor of the Escapist, boss at Defy Media, and more, we'll be talking about what he's done and what he's doing, and the state of the hobby, plus answering YOUR questions. SUNDAY 20th, 8pm Eastern!

Good luck for the rematch!
I hope you ask him about his ideas in Arbiter of Worlds, it's my favourite GM advice book. I read it through again cover to cover before starting my new Shadowdark campaign, and it's been standing me in good stead.
Will do.
LIVE now!
This livestream went really great. Macris is always a great interview subject.
Great discussion thanks. 'Arbiter of Worlds' discussion starts just after 34:00.
Re fudging die rolls, I would say "never fudge a mechanical resolution roll" whereas procedural content generation rolls like random encounter checks can be adjusted at GM's discretion, usually for versimilitude.
Great interview. You two should do more. Round 3! FIGHT!
Well, there will be future episodes. Lots of people to talk to!
