Ben Milton - The Waking of Willowby Hall
Episode description
Ben Milton is behind the popular YouTube channel Questing Beast where he does reviews and flip throughs of RPGs and OSR books and zines. Watching his reviews, I've been struck by the constant attention he has for the layout or the design choices of the books, and how these choices might affect the playing experience. Ben is the author of Maze Rats and Knave, two rules-light RPGs, that had a great influence on the OSR scene. Ben recently published the Waking of WIllowby Hall, a fairy-tale med fan adventure in a Haunted Manor.
In this episode, we talk about mathematician Edward Tufte, teaching Game Mastering to kids, an angry cloud giant, Ben's obsession with rules, and how a childhood bool can affect game design choices.
