Rami Hansenne, author of Daedalian Depths, was kind enough to answer some questions from Mazecast. Please enjoy! 1. Please tell us a bit about yourself, whatever you feel comfortable sharing. What’s your day job? Where are you from? What are your interests, aside from puzzles? I live in Belgium and have worked in IT most … Read more
About two years ago I wrote a letter to Christopher Manson. I was feeling sad that with White Raven’s departure from Into the Abyss there was no way to speak to MAZE‘s author. What I wrote was a gushy fan letter that was mostly about how much enjoyment I’d gotten from MAZE over the years, … Read more
Lyrics by Vewatkin, apologies to MJ My mom was itching for a taurean bang Boy, are you the outcome? Yes, I’m one and the same Now I believe in punishment And Poseidon’s wrath was burning that night But if you’re thinking about my labyrinth it don’t matter if your raven’s white I print a message … Read more
Vincent Ok, well, here we go, I’ll say something introductory and then we can assume that whatever we’re saying, or a cleaned up version of what we’re saying, will end up reproduced on MazeCast. Or maybe that was the introductory statement. In any case, I have a hard time making it to MazeCast episodes nowadays, … Read more
The inventive and engrossing novel Eidophusikon has recently come to our attention here at MazeCast. And, OK, MAZE fanfiction may not the best way to describe it, but author Jack Masters is clearly a fan of MAZE and Christopher Manson. (For proof, skip to the excerpt at the end of this post.)

I wanted to spruce up my “home office” (corner of the basement) a little, and occurred to me that I already have 45 pictures that I love, all ready to be framed and hung! Here’s how you can do the same thing. You will need: a new backup copy of MAZE (If you don’t already … Read more
Well, this has been a year in the making – got held up in editing, natch. This is why we never edit the ‘Casts – you’d still be waiting for Ep 1! Thanks to Greg for singing and performing, and thanks to Vincent for the lyrics. Sincere apologies to Paul McCartney. Hope you enjoy.
If you enjoy MAZE, there’s a good chance you are also interested in the Tarot – both are an irresistible stew of images, symbols, text, and numbers, spiced with myth, mystery, magic, and menace while offering rich possibilities for interpretation. I caught the Tarot bug early and bought my first deck at the age of … Read more
Getting antsy waiting for the next MazeCast episode? My recommendation is to go back and watch early episodes again. I like to do this when working on mechanical tasks and when I do I always find I learn something I missed the first time or am reminded of an idea I loved. Take, for example, … Read more
