Red Rooster's Gaming Coop
Saving Throes # 105 - Spotlight: Dr. Greg Gillespie
Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.
This week I wanted to do a spotlight on a game designer I have long enjoyed and provide a brief overview of his body of work: Dr. Greg Gillespie. He is known in the game industry as an accomplished game designer in the OSR space, and particularly well known for his many mega-dungeons he has created. However he has done more than that, and most recently he developed and authored Dragonslayer (my pick for game of the year in 2024)! Dragonslayer is a new retroclone D&D game that mixes the best parts of B/X and AD&D1e as a unique hybrid that hits the right balance of the best of both worlds. Tune in this week to hear about his opinion on game design and his approach to the craft to get good insight into his work!
