Reckless A-Talk: Linda Codega, entertainment/TTRPG reporter for io9

Reckless Attack

Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.

I am as always your host GM Nathan, and I am particularly nerdily excited for today’s episode, as I got to touch on multiple passions of mine in my conversation with tabletop and entertainment reporter and game designer Linda Codega (they/them).

Linda’s TTRPG and entertainment work has led to some incredibly important conversations in the space, including award-winning work on Wizards of the Coast considering changing it’s gaming licensing and racism in D&D, tabletop luxury woodworking company Wyrmwood’s toxic workplace culture, and much more.

They also cover independent game studios, compile the actual play and game release spotlight The Gaming Shelf, and all kinds of great stuff.

As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.

With that - see you next time!
