Running a game company isn’t always fun and games. Have you ever wondered what results when gaming and business meet? Panelists Chris and Cherilyn Kirkman – makers of deck and dice game Carnival - and Steve Segedy and Jason Morningstar – creators of the indie RPG Fiasco - share the trials and joys of running a small game company. Moderator Daniel Solis guides a broad discussion covering game production, online retail, the future of the local game store, and using crowd-funding as a part of a business plan.
