[Interview Special] Mongoose's Cassie Gregory & Chris Griffen on creative processes and visual storytelling

Author: EN Publishing May 27, 2026 Duration: 7:11
In our third (and final) interview at Mongoose Publishing's HQ we chat to Cassie Gregory (visual designer) and Chris Griffen (lead writer) about the studio's flagship games Traveller, Paranoia, and Shieldmaidens, and upcoming projects like Pioneer and a Dark Conspiracies revamp. They discuss their creative process, visual storytelling, shifting tones between lines, and the wild "frog legs" scale used in Shieldmaidens. It'll make sense when you hear it. Enjoy!

Every week, the crew behind Morrus’ Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk gathers to sift through the bustling, chaotic world of tabletop roleplaying games. This isn't a polished news broadcast; it's a conversation among friends who happen to be deeply embedded in the RPG scene. Hosted by Morrus-the force behind EN World and the ENnies-alongside Southampton Guild of Roleplayers founder Peter Coffey and EN Publishing's Business Manager Jessica Hancock, the podcast offers a distinct, insider's perspective. They cover everything from the major developments in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder to the most intriguing new indie releases, but always through a lens of genuine enthusiasm and informal chatter. The goal isn't to deliver a perfectly curated bulletin. Instead, you'll hear unfiltered reactions, occasional tangents, and the kind of shop talk that happens after a long gaming session. It's a show that prioritizes personality and fun over strict reporting, making each episode feel like you're pulling up a chair at a lively game store debate. Tune in for a weekly dose of camaraderie and casual commentary on the hobby's latest twists and turns. You'll get a feel for the pulse of the RPG community from people who live and breathe it, even if their predictions are off or their facts get a little tangled in the quest for a good laugh. This is, after all, an unofficial take.
