Hey all,

In the latest episode of the Hidden Staircase Podcast, Ezra (7) asks his burning design questions to Caleb Grace. Topics include:

• The thought process behind the upcoming side quests,
• Who's Gandalf Hero is better: Ezra's or Caleb's?
• Caleb's favorite quest he's designed so far,
• The design process for the upcoming Battle of Helm's Deep,
• "Why is this game so hard?"
• The complexity of balancing LOTR: LCG
• And... a super special surprise planned and executed by the fine folks at FFG. Listen all of the way through to the end to hear what it was.

Much thanks to Caleb, Britty, and Mercedes for this wonderful interview, for rooting us on at Hidden Staircase Games, and for going above and beyond to inspire the next generation of designers. You guys are hands down the coolest.

I hate Apple so much.

Great interview!

Thanks! I was about to throw my PC from the window when I started getting those error 400 messages and when they asked me to give them my credit card number (which I don't have) in order to make an account.

Let me ask Caleb if that would be okay.

Why wouldn't it? It's not like they're going to release it, are they?
