An interview with Oathmark's designer

The Cast Dice Podcast, Episode 97 - Oathmark And Frostgrave II With Joseph McCullough 

A sound-cloud interview with Joseph McCullough - designer of Oathmark and Frostgrave, Half about Oathmark and his designer's principles and half on Frostgrave II. 

 I like his thoughts about a Fantasy Battle System.  Small amount of dice to roll, limited unit size, no superhero characters able to wipe out entire units single-handed, multiple races in the same army and the ability to make your own army and kingdom with a campaign. 

I do think the game needs some more magic items at different costs, and there is about 6 lines of fluff total in the book (it needs more), but the rules seem very solid.
