Towards the end of the last Austin conference, F13.net was lucky enough to snag a dinnertime interview slot with two of the more interesting figures in modern-day online game development: Scott Jennings, formerly Lum the Mad, and Dave Rickey, formerly of a lot of places. As neither Dave nor Scott were able to tell us about their upcoming titles, we instead did was we must, because we could: ask random questions and then try to keep out of the crossfire.

Raph Koster, President of Areae, Inc., author, speaker and game designer, allowed us to interview him at this year's Austin Game Developer's Conference. He was joined by Areae's Community Manager, Tami Baribeau. A productive and insightful interview, despite not being able to tell us exactly what his company is currently working on.

F13.net + Sigil/SOE = BFF

The Community Panel. They are not laughing with us.

Also, Raph is better at journalism than we are.
