Starting with the first broadcast on September 8, 2013, Something From Nothing is an hour-long boardgame designer Google Hangout recorded live every other Sunday at 8PM EST.

Created by a group of Twitter friends, the goal of Something From Nothing is to help inspire and improve the game design process through a relaxed conversation with noted Game Designers and our panel of regulars. During the show, we field questions from a live audience on Twitter (through the hashtag #btgsfn), show off some of our recent projects, and focus on collaboration, solving problems we are currently experiencing with our prototypes. And of course, we also fight our spotty internet connections.

Each week, one or two special guest designers are invited on air to jump into the conversation and talk about their unique perspective on gaming.

This is a list with a link to all current episodes on Youtube and the special guests that were featured.

(For those listening in public, please note that there is no filter given to guests or hosts and that while infrequent, there is adult language used.)

10/6/13: Episode 3: The episode that almost never happened. The technical difficulties were mounting and just as we all were about to throw our hands in the air and give up, it all came together with a late-start. Prolific designers throwing ideas around like candy!

11/3/13: Episode 5 is our first episode with 6 gorgeous game designer faces and the brand-new Google Hangout interface. T.C. explains Boardgamehour incorrectly (use #boardgamehour Mondays at 2PM EST, and tweet about the topic), #Nagademon is explained correctly by Isaac, and hopefully these hashtags persuade more designers to jump onto Twitter.

Topics: Hiding math, Self-indulgent Prototyping, Kickstarter/self-publishing, Math vs. Feel, Creativity

11/17/13: This is episode the sixth and we're hitting our stride. New games are published and announced; questions are asked and answers are given. We're like your best friend, only opinionated, glitchy, and on Youtube. Also, make sure you have Neil read your rules. (also, as a side note, this is the first episode where a designer stuck around for a "post-episode hangout" off-air)

Topics: PnP, Playtesters, "unique" or iteration, fad vs. mechanic

12/29/13: Episode number nine. To continue our love of design, exploration, and space, we have invited noted game designer and developer Seth Jaffee on to the program. Luckily we talk about designing within a space, exploring new frontiers, and Christopher Chung sells ice to eskimos in the least fun way possible. Also, multiple shameless plugs abound and apparently Dice Hate Me Games will be publishing 3000 54-card games in 2014.

Topics: The Dice Hate Me Games 54-Card Challenge, Gil Hova's 4-P Challenge, "micro legacy games" Tiny Epic Kingdoms, First Impressions, Deck-building, Making Stock Markets "FUN"

1/12/13: Episode the tenth. This is an Unpub spectacular with Unpub 4 attending guests Darrell Louder and Ben Pinchback. We spend a whole lot of time elaborating on the simple concept that game designers are kind of dumb if they don't attend a playtest-specific game design convention. Also, our first major technical difficulty splits the episode into two parts. That only makes it twice as enjoyable!

Topics: Unpub 4, Fear, Motivation, Finding the Right publisher, Getting the most out of Feedback

1/26/14: Episode Eleven. Sometimes games are brightly colored and cute only to hide their dark, vicious, cut-throat innards. Dave Chalker and Grant Rodiek jump into the party with their design mindset and the lighter, tighter side of gaming. Also, we all learn what Turtle racing is and everyone roots for Lefty.

Topics: Helplessness, shooting the moon, Designing Lighter games, Simultaneous play, playtesting outside your circles

2/9/14: The Episode 12. Finally, a group of designers are brave enough to speak about their collective experiences and opinions on Kickstarter! Totally original content that no one has ever done before! But, most importantly, Robert Burke and David Chott give us their perspective on how game design is evolving, and how to use Kickstarter to make your games better. Prepare for an hour of self-deprecation, false promises, and inappropriate game themes.

Topics: Kickstarter! ("it's easy", KS exclusives, stretching the components), game designer promotional responsibilities, integrity & passion

2/23/14: Episode the 13th. The cooperative/solo game episode where we talk about the legitimately difficult task of creating and balancing games where players combat an AI. Matt Leacock talks about how he invented the alpha player problem and A. J. creates games that make people cry.

Topics: Solo/Cooperative Games (good qualities, surprise, alpha player problems, group vs individual goals, allowing choice vs. tying player's hands, player elimination), adult themes, crying, record blind playtests

Episode 14: Something From Nothing goes international with an esteemed guest from the French Alps and one of Jason's favorite designers, mountain man, Bruno Cathala. Technical issues abound as per usual, but once we get rolling there's some nice and juicy game design hints, reveals, and truth about the game design community. Tres magnifique!

"Gamers, Game Designers, Developers, Publishers; We are all passionate, and we belong to the same family." ~Bruno Cathala

Topics: Collaboration (also Bruno name drops 1000 French designers), designing an AI, Cyclades expansion, free speech and game design community, sharing design, Kickstarter, Designing FOR components

3/23/14: Episode fifteen. Where we go negative with our politician friend, Ben Rosset, and Luke Peterschmidt starts a game company just to spite Eric Lang. Strangely, this Hangout had an agenda, which is never really so overtly stated on the show (though T.C. usually has some sort of half-plan) and so Chevee talks a whole bunch, spearheading a conversation about negative critical reception and how designers should deal with feedback, reviews, and playtesters.

Topics: Critical reception (knowing your audience, targeting your audience, taking reviews with a grain of salt, asking the right questions after a playtest) making games for yourself, embracing failure, "fun scientist", working with limitations, craft vs. art.

4/6/14: Episode 16 enters the fray. With an extra 33% more beard, Jason Kotarski and Andy Lenox, hosts of the excellent 20 Minutes of Filler Podcast, visit the show to surprise and delight us with visions of larger games on the horizon. We talk about the tipping point between filler and meatier games and learn more expert advertising methods from the school of Chevee Dodd. Also, I think we decide that every card game should have a few cards that can be cut and formed into origami-style sculptures.


Topics: "Camp Khaki" (scope creep vs filler), finding the right publisher, themes to fit the game weight, Storyteller Cards Project, alternative ways to keep score (cards as components), thoughts on scheduled prototype areas at conventions, the mindset for small games or large games

For any game designers interested in exposure for their games and a surprising amount of West Coast publisher eyes on your prototype, check out the Ion Award competition. I picked up the award this year, but most importantly it opened a whole new network of publishers to me. Highly recommended for serious entries, and new info on the 2015 contest will be posted later this year.

Also, Rob was a finalist in the Cards Against Humanity Tabletop Deathmatch and will be featured on an episode airing May 6th. But, make sure to check out the show and see some indie designers pitching their games nervously to a panel of "experts" in an attempt to win a million dollars or something like that. It's also another contest that is planned to be repeated this year, and it is huge exposure for new designers.

4/20/13: Episode 17: As everyone else spends time with their family to celebrate some sort of important religious bunny holiday, our esteemed panelists come together to talk about game production and game design! Paul Tseng joins the group to talk a little about his experiences with Tabletop Deathmatch as a finalist alongside Rob Couch. Also, some trick-taking game about shooting guns or whatever goes onto Kickstarter, I guess.

Topics: "Pull!" on Kickstarter now, Failure & Launching with pre-exposure, iterating PnPs, UPC issues, card quality (gsm vs core), removing mechanics to increase the fun, the first impression,did I mention "Pull!" on Kickstarter now?

Also, as mentioned on the video, The Unpub website has the option to list your game in a large unpublished game database, offer rules or PNP files, and also receive feedback through their electronic feedback forms. BGG Game Design Forums also. Board Game Design Forum too. Get out there and get involved!

6/1/14: 20th Anniversary Episode! In this star-studded 20th episode special event extravaganza, we invite Eric Lang onto the show to display his vast knowledge of game design and dazzle us with boxes that are blue. Chevee is giddy while Rob and Jason watch on in awe. And it all culminates with possibly the show's most well-thought-out bit of advice for game designers that dare to stare into the game design abyss and become successful.

Topics: working with IPs, origins of quarriors, MDM, managing personal ideas vs business-focused ideas, using deadlines to your creative advantage, creating a prototype UI, how to abuse playtesters, use Twitter (it's easy)
