34 Paweł Kicman

Paweł Kicman. TTRPG designer by day, popculture journalist by night. Creator of CORP BORG, Kill Your Necromancer, Whispers of the Woods (LAST HOURS ON KICKSTARTER) and other weird things. He loves vanilla pudding, basketball, and sleeping. I gotta say that what got my attention to Paweł's work was Corp Borg and his critique to corporations and all the shit related to them. That immediately made a connection with me, and when I saw the way the book looked and the awesome and brutal stuff you get to do, I was hooked. And not to mention all the creators I've met from Poland so far are great people! On this chat with Paweł we get to know him a little bit better. We talk about his journey as a Game Designer, what dire circumstances lead him there, and how these turned into something unexpected. We talk about his previous experiences, works and how that all relate to the games he makes now. We talked about inspiration, other artists, the weird stuff that he likes, and how very little things makes him happy (but how valuable those things are as well). It was a great chat, with some very insightful and interesting sections I know you will love as we did! So listen up and get weird with us! Check out Paweł's Links!
