A podcast about designing for randomness, and designers who use, abuse, or manage chance and variance in their work.

The podcast explores systems and design that are built around chance.

While the podcast isn't exclusively about games, game design spends a lot of time in this space.

Beyond games, conversations with other kinds of designers: composers and instrument designers who use random elements, speed and no-hit runners (who design routes to minimize variance), various engineers, process designers (who have to manage the random behavior of humans), etc.

I'm Harry Dean Hudson, a lifelong math, games, and systems nerd. I'm a hobbyist game developer and I'm passionate about play and games.

I have a masters degree in Communication and Digital Media from the University of Washington, where I focused on games as communications media and the interaction of digital media and intellectual property.

    Episode 4: Multiplayer with Calm Pewter
    Sep 30 2025

    For this week's episode we drifted a bit from the show's MacGuffin and had a slightly different conversation. I spoke with Julian Schumacher, the developer of The Quizard's Domain who goes by Calm Pewter Games. The topic of our conversation was multiplayer–designing and developing multiplayer experiences for player interaction and how player interactivity influences design.

    You can find more from Julian/Calm Pewter out in the wild:

    • Not Julian, but a huge influence: Sakurai's Game Dev Wisdom on YouTube

    Next week we'll be back to our conversations about randomness and chance. We have the first episode of a two-part conversation with Dan DiIorio (Luck Be A Landlord, Maze Mice) and Brian Long (Ballionaire). But for today, enjoy this conversation about people.
