T.F. Wright, with is co-creator Volkenfox, is the author of a visual novel called The Pirate’s Fate. It’s a “Choose Your Own Adventure” style pirate book for the modern age.
In our talk we discuss his strategies for keeping track of so many story lines at once, the changing nature of villains and how to keep them interesting, and why some people might be uncomfortable with anthropomorphised animals even though Disney and Warner Brothers have been using them for decades.

Tom Butler heads up Green Feet Games where they’re working on their new board game, The Pirate Republic. And he’s got some really interesting ideas about game design that I think you’ll dig. We get into tons of game design stuff, how he kept his history straight (shout out to Cindy Vallar!) and why pirates fascinate him.
