Ego Check with The Id DM – Episode 18 – Jeff Chin

Jeff Chin, demonstrating how Bowties works.

I’m joined by Jeff Chin, Co-Founder of Road To Infamy Games, and he speaks about lessons learned from successfully launching two prior games through Kickstarter. Readers may remember my interview with Road To Infamy last summer, when they spoke with me about their second Kickstarter project, Galactic Debate. He details Road To Infamy’s latest Kickstarter campaign, Bowties: The Dapper Drinking Game. Jeff talks about his inspiration for the game and the development process for taking the game from initial conception to playtesting, and hopefully manufacturing. We discuss social behavior as it relates to consuming alcohol in public spaces – and playtesting games. He answers questions about the possible competition with other Kickstarter campaigns, and how he has embraced collaboration with other creators.
