This week on Excelsior Journeys, host & producer George Sirois sits down with Jamey Stegmaier, co-founder of the St. Louis-based tabletop game publisher Stonemaier Games. For over a decade, Jamey and his team have released games such as Expeditions, Scythe, Rolling Realms, and more, while pushing the possibilities of design & execution beyond the typical roll-and-play dynamics we have known for decades. But instead of keeping their winning formula to themselves, Jamey has consistently shared his wisdom on YouTube so others can be inspired to get into game design and avoid the pitfalls discussed in his videos.

The Excelsior Journeys podcast exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.
