TabulaCast Episode 28

This episode of TabulaCast is an interview with Tom Potter, lead designer of Tabula Rasa.

Amongst the many things we discuss include:
  • Tom tells us about his role as lead designer on Tabula Rasa and how important the community is to his role
  • PAU's: when we can start seeing concept art and how they will be introduced into the game
  • Delivery of new systems and Tom's vision for this
  • The Neph Warrior and how they will introduce new types of spawns to maps that make use of logos
  • New creatures pretty soon and mobs whose visual appearance is level based
  • Armour design and the differences between them
  • Solo-ability and overall vision for class balance
  • Community focused areas to act as a hub for players to get together such as the CELLAR Arena
  • Is there room for a group XP bonus?
  • Thoughts  on balance between PVP and PVE gameplay
  • Crafting and how it WILL be something valid to do when not combating and it will be in a level ilk so modules can level and perform better.
  • Control points and how it's important to make the new features for everyone -- not only PVP but PVE players too
  • Tom tells us how he loves player customization and more options such as progressive armour and weapons like the new shotgun
  • He also tells us how repeatable content such as instances, PvP maps and the like outside of the main game are things he'd like to see in the next few months.
  • Tom tells us about his favorite class and his favorite TR moment when playing on the live servers
  • All members of the team have a big interest in the game because they play it and are therefore invested.
  • And more!

About Me
A whole lot has changed with me since I first started on this site. I went from hosting 4 podcasts to hosting only 2 now, plus my audio book project.

I also now work as a freelance writer/podcaster, doing work for Massively.com and GreenDaily.com. It's an amazing dream come true and I have no complaints at all.

My gaming has also broadened quite a bit. I went from playing only Guild Wars and Tabula Rasa, to now playing those plus LotRO and WoW regularly. I also dabble in Dungeon Runners quite a bit.

My First Podcast Novel

I've only briefly announced this new project of mine on one of my podcasts and my GuildCast forums, but I thought I'd mention it here as well for anyone interested. On March 1st, 2008, I will be releasing my first ever podcast novel. This will be like an audiobook, but in podcast form, so you can subscribe to it, and all that good stuff. It will be read by me, or more accurately performed by me in… Continue

Mario Bros Theme on Drums

I'm sure we've all seen the Super Mario Bros theme played on guitar, piano, flute, bass, etc. But being a drummer myself, this video gave me a nerdgasm.
