Wait - for Kevin Bacon each person has to be credited on a movie with him. Who gets to be 1 away from you?

If you are credited a product with me (including magazines, videos, con programs, actual plays) OR played a game or demo with me (because it is ALL about games), that's a 1. Then if you are credited in a product with a 1 or play a game with a 1, you are a 2. And so on. #SixDegreesofOwenKCStephens

What about being coworkers? Also the scary part is I might be able to Kevin Bacon you to Kevin Bacon. It's tricky because once I hit Neil Patrick Harris I'm clueless.

MOST of my coworkers have gotten a credit in a book I worked on, since Paizo and green Ronin both list staff in their masthead.

Right but it almost feels like cheating if that's the criteria because at that point I can skip your former co-workers. For context how this whole conversation started I commented to Dustin on Mark Seifter's discord how it felt like I keep on Kevin Baconing myself to the tabletop community.

0 degrees is just another way of saying infinite. You are Infinite Owen.

Does that mean you always win or you always lose?

In my experience, being close to Owen means you’re doing something right, so Owen always wins.

The answer to that depends on how you feel about the idea of hearing EVERY pun I ever tell.

I don't think we've ever been in a product together have we? I'm sure I'm no more than a 2. I've been in products with @mouseferatu.bsky.social and he's the one who introduced me to you, but beyond that I'm uncertain.

Yeah, I've worked on a few books with Owen (although far fewer than one would expect, given how long I've known him and how long we've both been in the industry).

Yeah, you'd THINK we'd have done 20-odd books together. But it only takes one for Ari to have an Owen value of 1. :)

He's not in your artifact book is he? I'm trying to think of projects I've been on that might have also had Owen without me realizing it. Owen, did you ever do anything for Vampire? I did exactly 1 vampire product, but it had a lot of people on it. Or a SSS Creature Collection?

No, he wasn't on that book. (Which, frankly, was an omission on my part.)

Nothing for Vampire (I had no in with them at the time), and all my SSS stuff was player-focused, or Gamma World. :(

Dang it! Well, then we should totally write something together!
