Steve Jackson returns to Il Gioco in... Podcast!

After our previous conversation about GURPS and his extraordinary career, this time we look forward rather than backward.

Steve Jackson has recently stepped away from the CEO role at Steve Jackson Games to devote more time to what started everything: designing games.

In this new conversation, Riccardo Scaringi talks with Steve about the next chapter of his career, the games he is working on, and how almost fifty years of experience have changed the way he thinks about game design.

We discuss:

• his decision to dedicate more time to game design
• what he wants to create next
• Munchkin Second Edition and why he finally changed his mind about making it
• the return of TOON
• the future of GURPS
• revising old games without destroying what made them special
• working with a new generation of designers
• Seven-Part Pact
• Fighting Fantasy and the legendary confusion between the two Steve Jacksons
• the approaching 50th anniversary of Ogre
• playtesting, complexity and removing unnecessary rules
• how the tabletop industry has changed
• and the most important question:

What does Steve Jackson still want to create?
