The Tabletop Renaissance

Jane Chung Hoffaker is an Emmy winning executive producer for League of Legends’ Arcane Series that’s now embarking on a new adventure: building a board game startup called Incredible Dream Studios. We’re throwing it back to the days of yore, discussing what makes a good board game, what’s easier and harder in development vs. video games, whether AAA underutilizes board games in franchising and expanding their IP, and some of the business model impacts of running a COGS intensive business. Tune in to learn about what Incredible Dream is building and their strategy of starting with a physical IP, Jane’s take on the Wizards of the Coast OGL kerfuffle, and more!
