Mon, 1 September 2008 In Episode 14 the D6G team gets into the details of Gen
Con Indy 2008. We delve into the nature of the con with questions like
"Which vendors had the strongest presence?" and "Were certain types of
games on the rise or decline?" But the best part of this super long episode, we think, is the extensive (over an hour) interview with Matt Wilson, the man behind Privateer Press. We feel this is a must listen for all gamers, regardless of game system, as Matt goes through his history in the game industry, and how he went from game idea to game production, and all the bumps in the middle.
