Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

Reckless A-Talk: Viditya Voleti - Game Designer (A Land Once Magic, Bloodbeam Badlands, Space Between Stars) 1:11:23

1:11:23

Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are. I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we got to talk to the amazing game designer and artistic person in general Viditya Voleti. He is a game design educator who has been releasing games for several years now as both a prolific indie designer and freelancer for places like Paizo, Possum Creek Games, Evil Hat Productions, and tons more. He is also a very fun, funny, and thoughtful former art student whose preferred genre of game appears to be “all of them.” All this wrapped up into a really fascinating and inspirational and aspirational conversation about learning to fail, knowing who you are making games for, the concept of artistic studies in game design, and I think most crucially the attitude that when you make something, you’re always taking a step forward. His latest game, A Land Once Magic, is a worldbuilding deck and conversation piece that is crowdfunding right now. We have links to the crowdfunder and all the other things Viditya and I talk about in the show notes. As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes. With that - thanks for listening! ——— Edited by Nathan Lurz and Jonathan Zhang — Viditya on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/vidityavoleti.bsky.social Viditya on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vidityavoleti/ Viditya on Itch (including A Land Once Magic!): https://vidityavoleti.itch.io/ A Land Once Magic: https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/moreblueberries/a-land-once-magic?ref=reckless — Elliot Davis Reckless A-Talk: https://www.recklessattack.com/interviews/reckless-a-talk-elliot-davis/ I’m Sorry Did You Say Street Magic: https://seaexcursion.itch.io/street-magic Grasping Nettles: https://adambell.itch.io/grasping-nettles Crescent Moon sound from Fire Force: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTUEM9KdxfQ…

Reckless A-Talk: Eli Hauschel (Mayday Roleplay) - Professional sound designer and editor, performer, designer 1:09:53

I am as always your host GM Nathan I use he/him pronouns, and this week we are joined by a really special guest who essentially excels at every aspect of TTRPG performance and production, Eli aka aghostofeli from Mayday Roleplay! Eli was an early connection we made in the TTRPG space, and immediately stood out for their abilities and instincts as a performer and professional sound designer editor. And over the years since, he has been a wonderful force for good in the space, further cementing my admiration of her. This is such a great episode, especially for those of us who are trying to balance our creative work with life, friendship, burnout, and the general weight of being. Eli and I chat about the editing process, collaboration, peer and community building, making your process sustainable, identity, and oh so much more. Eli is genuinely one of my favorite folks, and I think you’ll enjoy your time with her as much as I did. As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes. We have links to the things that Eli and I talk about in the show notes, including to the always excellent shows over at Mayday Roleplay and his game design work.

Welcome to the sixth Reckless Attack Tale Til Now Episode, summarizing events at the Waveless Lake and the discoveries made there.
