Designer vs. Reality was discussion on episode 23 of the RPG Crosstalk show. There’s a discussion forum for Designer vs. Reality on RPGCrosstalk. There’s a thread about these  episodes on the Dungeon World forum.

This podcast is about designing, developing, and playtesting RPGs. It will primarily feature Actual Play audio recordings of playtest sessions. I am a big believer in the idea of using Skype to play and playtest RPGs. If you are interested in participating in a playtest, please contact me at dan.maruschak@gmail.com (Releasing recordings of the sessions isn’t mandatory, so don’t let nervousness about doing it in public stop you from participating! I’ll only podcast the sessions if you agree.)
