06 Emanoel Melo
Episode description
Sixth Episode! Today we welcome the amazing designer Emanoel Melo!
Emanoel Melo is an art director and game designer from Brazil and he publishes his work under the Cabinet of Curiosities label. He recently published the boxed set version of his minimalist CBR+PNK game in partnership with Mythworks (you should ABSOLUTELY check it out), and is the author of of many other RPG books and games such as Escape from Station 52, Dodecahedrax, and many others.
I love Emanoel's work and his attention to detail. His games have just the exact amount of words, graphics and art to give you everything you need to play and imagine these fantastical universes in your table.
During our talk we realized how analytical and detailed his vision is, and how he look over things with the intention of dissecting and making it work on his own terms. We also talked about his fascination with ghost stories, aliens, and many other weird things, including a near death experience he had when he was younger.
It's a very entertaining and insightful chat. I hope you like it as much as we did! Now let's get weird with Emanoel Melo!
