Patrick Rauland: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Indie Board Game Designers podcast, where I sit down with a different independent game designer, and we talk about their experience in game design and the lessons they've learned along the way. My name is Patrick Rauland, and today I'm going to be talking with Sam and Ed Stockton, who designed Cult of the Deep.

Now, normally I talk with people right before their Kickstarter comes out, right after the Kickstarter comes out, or maybe a little bit later after that. But in this case, what's cool is the game is done, Cult of the Deep, but the Kickstarter is going to be coming out next year, so we might be able to get into some different topics in this interview. With that, Sam and Ed, welcome to the show.

Sam Stockton: Thank you.

Ed Stockton: Thanks for having me.

Patrick: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Indie Board Game Designers podcast, where I sit down with a different independent game designer every single week, and we talk about their experience in game design and the lessons they've learned along the way. My name is Patrick Rauland, and today I'm going to be talking with David Hayes, who designed Iron Cauldron with me back in Episode 26, the Roll and Write Game Jam episode.

So, David and I are going to be getting into– I think I would call David a games enthusiast, and a game designer dabbler. As in, someone who loves games but doesn't design them very often. He basically designed a game because I bugged him to design a game, so today, I want to get into that aspect of game design, where you don't have to do it super hardcore all the time. With that introduction, David, welcome to the show.

David: Thank you. It's good to be here.
