Know Direction 238 – For Love of Crunch with Paizo’s James Case and Valiant’s Jessica Redekop

A game’s rules can be taken for granted, seen only as the cold steel engine that propels the pretty outer shell and soft interior that is the setting, lore, and plots.

Well we say to heck with that! A great game mechanic can be as fun and exciting as the world it runs. Joining Ryan and Perram to talk about how fun rules can be is Paizo’s Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild organized play developer, James Case, and frequent Paizo freelancer and Valiant’s own Xiadani, Jessica Redekop.

What started as one gamer wanting to talk about his love of a game grew into a podcast network. Ryan founded what would become the Know Direction Podcast network with Jason "Jay" Dubsky, his friend and fellow 3.5 enthusiast. They and their game group moved on to Pathfinder, and the Know Direction podcast network was born. Now married and a father, Ryan continues to serve the network as the director of logistics and co-host of Upshift podcast, dedicated to the Essence20 RPG system he writes for and helped design.
