Designers and owners of Urban Professional Games, Ashwin Kamath and Rob Newton joins me to talk about the journey of getting Chicken Fried Dice from inspiration to crowdfunding. We then talk about 15+ Blank and write games that we enjoy. And share some happy moments with good food, good friends, good games, and a trip to Japan. 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:17 Meet the Designers: Ashwin and Rob • Urban Professional Games (https://urbanprofessional.games/) • Coin Flip Games (https://www.coinflip.games/) 00:06:24 The Journey of Chicken Fried Dice • Chicken Fried Dice (https://get.chickenfrieddice.com/9) 00:28:57 The Importance of Community and Mentorship 00:37:36 Key Tips for Aspiring Game Designers 00:39:56 5 Blank and Write 00:41:35 Next Station: London 00:44:30 Let's Make a Bus Route 00:46:15 Three Sisters 00:49:49 Cartographers 00:52:45 Welcome To 00:55:17 Dice Cards 01:00:13 Silver and Gold 01:00:27 Tempus Imperium from Chris Anderson (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/79299/chris-anderson/linkeditems/boardgamedesigner) 01:02:32 Merchants of Magick: A Set a Watch Tale 01:06:18 Wok and Roll 01:11:10 Corinth 01:14:54 Cascadia: Rolling Rivers 01:19:24 Twice As Clever! 01:21:20 (Honorable Mention) Draft & Write Records 01:23:37 Moments of Positivity and Community • Washington State Tabletop Game Alliance (https://www.tabletopgamealliance.org/) at the  Tokyo game market (https://gamemarket.jp/information/177349) • Tantrum con (https://tantrumcon.com/) and Clarence Simpson (https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/131052/clarence-simpson) • Sweetlands 01:28:46 Where can you find Ashwin and Rob •  Ashwin: BoardGameGhee on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/boardgameghee.bsky.social) and most socials  • Rob: Coinflipgames on Bluesky  (https://bsky.app/profile/coinflip.games) 01:30:35 Outro  (Please note that these time stamps might not be accurate due to the use of dynamic ads.)
