Alan Gerding — From Core Principles to Kickstarter Success: The Psychology and Strategy Behind Crafting Mothership: Sci-Fi Horror RPG (#35)

Written By Justin Gary

Alan Gerding is responsible for one of the highlights of my game design career, which we discuss in the first part of the podcast. He is a psychology professor and game designer who co-owns Tuesday Knight Games with his best friend. He is the designer of the recently Kickstarted game Mothership: Sci-Fi Horror RPG which made over 1.4 million dollars. Alan is awesome and this episode was a blast to record, there are lots of laughs and lessons in this one! Enjoy!
