The Lost Bay: An Interview with Iko - Undercommon Taste Episode 123
Manage episode 375032265 series 2954412
This week, we are joined by podcaster, zine publisher, and game designer Iko, to talk about his newly released game, The Lost Bay. Join us as we discuss game design, horror in TTRPGs, and a nostalgia for the 90s that never were. Also, please forgive the audio quality in some of the sections; we were having some connectivity issues with Iko in Paris.
