![Slightly Reckless RPGs | Sacha Lightfoot in Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Ronin is a Mork Borg compatible RPG that brings the samurai and yokai of mediaeval Japan to life on the table top. Featuring stunning, high energy, high octane art and graphic design, and a solid fast paced ruleset it is no surprise that the game, and its publisher - Slightly Reckless Games - are building a following.
I got the chance to sit speak with Sacha Lightfoot, founder of Slightly Reckless Games, and creator of Ronin, about the art and business behind starting an RPG publisher and writing a brand new game. With the next SRG game, Berserkr, coming to Kickstarter it felt like the perfect time to chat.

I’m in conversation with James Wallis, the founder of Hogshead Publishing, the company that resurrected Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay first edition, refined it, expanded it, and kept it alive for a decade. And then he decided to shut down the successful company and walk away.
We talk about why, his remarkable journey in the RPG industry, and what he learned from crafting some of the most innovative, award winning RPGs of the past 30 years.

![RPG Monster Master | Graeme Davis in Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Graeme Davis was part of the team that brought WFRP to incredible life, and his career has taken him to amazing worlds like Vampire the Masquerade, Supernatural, and Vaesen.
In our conversation we explored the opportunities and perils of drawing on folklore for making monsters, such as with the Fimir of Warhammer, and the ways in which encounter and creature creation differs across different RPG worlds and rules systems. We also talked about working with other legendary figures like Mike Brunton and Bryan Ansell.
