In episode 65 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Pophouse Collective’s Josh Kemper and Robert Smith about their getting to know you party game It’s Kind of a Fun Story. They talk about how the game was inspired by a Halloween Party game night with salaciously probing questions that they wanted to turn into an experience you could find in a brightly colored box. Through playtesting they moved to make the questions more mass market friendly while keeping to an adult audience. They also worked to create scoring mechanisms as well as different ways to interact with questions beyond just telling a story. Hear about their success as a first time publisher making their way to Target and about their Pride tour in the Month of June to celebrate being a Queer run company!
