Brian & Elliot are joined by Gabriel Gueiros and Le Yang, the duo behind Weird Place, a game design and content studio known for games like Fluff & Fury and the upcoming Residue. We discuss the team’s journey as both game designers and content creators, why they keep finding themselves unable to keep games to zine size, and tips for using public domain art to fill your TTRPG with compelling visuals.
