Geneforge 4 Interview
RPG Vault has an interview with indie RPG developer Jeff Vogel of Spiderweb Software about his newest RPG, "Geneforge 4: Rebellion."

A couple of excerpts:
"Thus, though it's a low-budget title, it still has a place in the marketplace (and early sales are very strong). Most people don't make single-player RPGs like this anymore, so there isn't a lot of competition. It may seem that MMORPGs have sort of taken over the world, but there are still lots of people who long for this sort of game."

And later...

"There is almost always a non-combat way to solve any given problem. Diplomacy. Stealth. Mechanics. Trickery. I love having multiple ways to solve every problem."

It's heavy on promotion (of course), but enjoyable:

But what I'm really anxious for is his follow-up to his last - and perhaps most controversial - "View from the Bottom" article, about how he hates RPGs.
