Spies and Hexcrawls: A conversation with WF Smith & Tim Denee: Ep 118
Episode 118
Monday, 26 October, 2026
Tonight I'm joined by W.F. Smith, the mind behind Prismatic Wasteland, one of the sharpest OSR blogs in the game. And if you've heard of Barkeep on the Borderlands, that's him too: the barhopping, pubcrawl-fantasy fever dream that took home a Gold ENNIE. Warren writes like a man with a notebook full of bad ideas he's somehow made playable. W.F. Smith, welcome to Reading D&D Aloud. Our other guest tonight is Tim Denee, a designer with a gift for taking sharp ideas, stylish worlds, soldering them to systems under pressure. He's the mind behind Deathmatch Island, which is Battle Royale or The Hunger Games the RPG, and he has pushed forward the timeline of John Harper's magnum opus Blades in the Dark forward a hundred years with Blades '68, creating a retrofuturist new age of crime, glamour, and trouble. Welcome Tim! If you want to catch up with WF Smith, check out his blog here: https://www.prismaticwasteland.com/ To buy Tim's latest work, click here: https://evilhat.com/product/blades-68/
