Fateless Podcast Recap: From Tabletops to Touchscreens: Gaming Across ALL Platforms!
On this past Fateless Podcast, Brad, Sham and Dirk welcomed a fresh face in the content creation scene—Bran the Broke, an indie board game designer and YouTuber passionate about game mechanics, creative design, and the upcoming game Godforge.
Podcast Summary
Bran, a self-described hobby-hopper, shared his journey from being an audio engineer to diving deep into board game design during a period of unexpected downtime. With titles like Questbound and Tic Tac Slash under his belt—some self-published through platforms like Gamecrafter—Bran brings a unique, hands-on perspective to gameplay systems and user experience.
His entry into Godforge content creation stemmed from a love of both video and tabletop games, as well as a respect for the Fateless community’s transparent development approach. He’s particularly excited about Godforge‘s distinct mechanics—like the dual-speed and divinity system—and the game’s potential for competitive play and even e-sports.
Bran’s content is evolving from in-depth design analysis to more community-focused videos, reactions, and theorycrafting, with a goal to blend his board game knowledge with Godforge’s growing world.
Catch the full episode to hear more about Bran’s design philosophies, board game industry insights, and how he’s turning passion into content. And be sure to check out Bran the Broke on YouTube as he breaks down Godforge from a designer’s lens.
