Always great to hear from designers. 

He is right, it really is a challenge to find play testers!  Then, you can not dwell too much on one testers feedback, you have to synthesize it with all the rest.  That is hard to do.

 Great podcast again this time! Loving the naval history features based on the number as well - always fascinating.

 Thanks for the compliments or "mentions in dispatches" as the Brits say about my poor scratch building efforts - Most of the credit must go to Brigade Models, who have inspired me and supplied most of the hard work for the dirigibles.

 Good to hear from a rules designer about the thought behind writing rules as well.

 As for BSG, can I just repeat my personal motto? if people are willing enough to play a game, it's not a dead game.

If I have models and the rules, it is evergreen!
