Summary: <p>It's our 150th episode! To celebrate we finally have Martha's dad David R. Megarry on the show to talk about designing board games and specifically designing the fantasy adventure board game Dungeon! We get to hear the inspiration behind some of the now iconic game mechanics, unexpected lessons he learned along the way and why community is so important to a game designer. We even hear some stories Martha didn't know before!</p> Board Game Design <a href="/topics/game-design" hreflang="en">Game Design</a> <a href="/topics/tabletop" hreflang="en">Tabletop</a> <a href="https://www.secretsofblackmoor.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Secrets of Blackmoor documentary</a> <a href="https://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/board-card-games/dungeon" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dungeon!</a> <p>It's sold many places<a href="https://www.powells.com/book/-9780786965557"> including Powell’s bookstore in Portland, OR</a>.</p> On the Board Game Geek page for Dungeon! you can see pictures of many different editions of the game- including different iterations of the board, cards and player pieces.
