Retronauts 194: Brian Fargo on Wasteland, The Bard's Tale, & Fallout (Patreon)

Another interview episode, yes indeed, with another key figure in North American role-playing gaming. This conversation with Interplay and InExile chief Brian Fargo isn't quite as leisurely or intimate as last year's Robert Woodhead and Michael Cranford interviews, since it was recorded remotely, but it does make for a nice companion piece to those chats. This time, it affords a little more insight into the evolution of games from the management and production side as opposed to the design and programming side, which helps (in my opinion) give a fuller picture of the logistics game makers dealt with during the ’80s. Anyway, another bit of actual journalism here to break up the fuzzy nostagia toward Mega Man and Final Fantasy you normally hear here.
