The D20 Future Show

Welcome to the D20 Future Show. The DM Richard and his team play the RPG D20 Future (based on D20 Modern) and are... well sometimes they are idiots. We hope you'll enjoy listening.

We're back! Well, sort of. I know you have all been waiting for the next episode in our Everyday Heroes adventure and believe me I would love to have that ready for you but life just isn't that shape!

What I do have though is a great interview with game designer Jonathan Hicks. We chat about the UK Games Expo 2023, his career as a game designer, his latest combat free game Deal and Pressure, Jonathan's next "industrial sci-fi" game.

You can find Industrial Sci-Fi game These Dark Places on Osprey Games' website: https://ospreypublishing.com/uk/those-dark-places-9781472840950/
