Listen "S02:E01 | Creative Chat with Andrew Gillis: Genre Clouds, Magical Girls as Queer Metaphor, and the Practice of Play"
Episode Synopsis
We’re kicking off Season Two in an amazing Creative Chat with game designer (and old pal) Andrew Gillis, creator of Girl by Moonlight, an incredible tabletop roleplaying game all about magical girls, in crowdfund at the time of this airing!I had an unmitigated blast talking with Andrew about their creator backstory, what magical girls mean to them, what’s inspiring their work right now … and some sneaky-peekies into projects currently bubbling away in their brain. *** SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't seen the Netflix show Russian Doll, skip ahead from ~52:30 to 54:45. ***Andrew is a treasure, and one of the most warm and thoughtful folks I know; I'm sure you'll enjoy their insights and good humor, too. <3As always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!ResourcesAndrew Gillis on TwitterGirl by Moonlight crowdfund on BackerkitBlades in the Dark (tabletop RPG)The Englishman's Boy (book | Guy Vanderhaege)Tampopo (film | Juzo Itami)The City and the City (book | China Mieville)Ambergris (book series | Jeff Vandermeer)The Southern Reach trilogy (book series | Jeff Vandermeer)The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (book | Becky Chambers)Monk and Robot series (book series | Becky Chambers)Russian Doll (TV series | Natasha Lyonne, Amy Poehler, Leslye Headland)IG: @littleoracles
