Episode 15 - Not all heroes wear capes - Paul Grogan
This is the first in OMC's series for 2025 'Not all heroes wear capes', where I bring to you the origin stories for some of board gaming's most notable contributors. Every hero has a beginning, and I'm very excited for this series.In this episode, we get a VERY candid look at the legendary Paul Grogan and how Gaming Rules was born.Please note, this was OMC's first international recording and due to some technical difficulties parts of the interview needed to be re-recorded after the fact. If you sense any irregularities or unusual fluctuations in the episode, please note that every effort has been made to correct the gaps with integrity and accuracy to the original interview. My effusive thanks to Paul Grogan for making himself available, and for also for his understanding of the unfortunate gaffe.Also, for those of you that are wondering if Paul Grogan is as much a gentleman in person as he appears to be, the answer is no, he is not. He is far more, with a generosity of spirit that supersedes your expectations at every turn.Oh yes, and cicadas. Still the freaking cicadas.
