Answers to my own questions:

Question 1: How do you feel about musicals and which one is your favourite?

I liked Disney movies when I was a kid, they worked in the context of a kids movie. Now, unless a movie is based on a musical, it doesen’t work. Not for me, I just feel it does not work in general. It breaks plausibility and the fourth wall too. I mean, movies like ‘The King and I’ were of their time, though some are still lauded, iconic and relevant. But the world has moved on, much like how Spaghetti Westerns were of their time.

Question 2: How do you feel about settings that are super serious for either RPGs, Tabletop board games, minature games or computer games?

I’ve been playing 40k for some time, and while humour is included, I got tired of the constant Grim Dark all the time. It works, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes its cool to have stories about the Salamanders who are just sound dudes, the Orks getting up to crazy shenanigans, and so on. It could be why I developed a bright, vibrant comic book painting style to break up the grimdark on the table a little too.

Question 3: The same but for more lighthearted, comedic, whimsical or fun?

Because of the above, I enjoy said type of games. Arcworlde is something I am enjoying lately, and I am going back to my Space Orks, Ironjawz, Morannon Orcs and Bayourks soon. Oh, and my Night Goblins. And squigs. And a giant. Moonstone is also something that fits the bill here. Not to mention stuff like the Monty Python figures in one of the Zombicide games. Malifaux has it to a degree too with their Gremlins.

Question 4: Give me a brief elevator pitch for a game. No more than 40 words.

A tabletop skirmish RPG inspired by Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Imagine it! It writes itself. Event cards, objective and narrative driven play, ploys, surreal miniature concepts added in, but solid gameplay too.
