Hey, Jeff! yet another TTRPG peep who helped me out along the way.

Thanks for having Wolfgang on. He was very kind to hire me to write a few posts for the Kobold blog when I was just starting. And really, everyone on the team are good people.

Chris Perkins should write more DM Experience. I would pay to subscribe to it!

Sounds like your guest is OSR n that's ok.

Don't feel bad many USA voters r fascist.

Perkins is the man! Without those Aquisitions Inc podcasts idk if I'd ever have taken the leap! Thank you! It also would've been great to hear his thoughts on the OSR explosion and his thoughts on the landscape of TTRPGs in general.

Our hobby is in a great hands with Chris Perkins, someone who loves the game and has a good heart.

Tickets for GenCon go on sale this weekend, I'm going to be going for my first time, hope to see you there!

Fun night Stan! Thanks! I'm trying to make this a new catchphrase: "Reading is Fun-damental, but Drawing is just plain FUN!" What do you think? 😁

Some really great insights. I missed this live now catching up on your show.

Brindlewood Bay is my current favorite game. The way it opens up worldbuilding to the players has changed the way I think about writing RPGs

I really like the casual format and insider information. It feels more like a natural conversation rather than the usual interview style.

cool show. I think Chris and I are the same age, but I didn't start until I was 14, so it was Moldvay instead of Prof. Holmes. But it's been a wild ride.

Chris had border problems because of Phish? Was Trey Anastasio the border guard?

Another great one! Always nice to see and hear Chris

What a great conversation! It's rare to get to hear from a major exec at one of your favorite companies, and even more rare to have them answer your questions and interact with you. Thank you for facilitating that and for a great interview between two very talented, likeable fellas. 😁

Please never stop making Weird Little Babies (sounds like a kid's RPG)

Adding to the loss of what the magazines provided - even if you only sent in a letter to the editor and got it published, that was high cred. The comic book letter columns have also been long gone - another huge loss. There were some very famous people like T.M. Maple in the columns whom I looked forward to reading just as much as the comic itself.

If you are able to interview Ray again, please could you ask him about his 5 Laws of Dungeoncraft: why he created them, and what would he change or even add now? (And yes I have written the First Law at the front of y new DMG as he advised oh so long ago ....)

Love the origin story.

That Elmore art for the book is my favorite D&D art of all time. I remember first seeing the book cover at B. Dalton Books at Whitwood Mall in Whittier, Calfornia. The cover made me pick up the book and I bought it that day.

Great job Stan! I think Kobolds having a snowball fight was my favorite 😊

Great I could watch you live, James Wayatt seems charming guy. Tbh i think this podcast/channel is underrated a lot, im big fan of earlier stuff (odnd, bx) so watching interviews with people from old times is priceless. Also im big fan of Al-Qadim, I tried to find any Sue Weinlein interview the other day and that is how i got here. And also, as illustrator/ comic artist myself i can say that art part is icing on the cake. This place deserves more attention :)

Great interview Stan! There are such great people in this hobby that I'd love to hang out with or play in a game

Another god of gaming! Thanks, Bill for all your incredible work over the years and thanks to Stan for the great interview!

I loved the Living Greyhawk Gazateer (used it for DMing 3e) and I mega loved Living Greyhawk- was a formative experience for me. Great guest l, great discussion! (Was nice to see a serious side of Mona, who I mostly know as Tiny Murder Clown.)

Torg!!!

Audio is key. Consider reconfiguring your current mic, or if that doesn’t work then buying a better mic.

Good stuff here. Glad to subscribe to this channel.

Adorei 👏

Fun as always! My favorite tonight was the Snowman. The expression on his face was hilarious 😂

Those of us that learned with the 83 Basic set, we were able to learn without an existing DM. That let us develop our own styles and preferences.

Thanks for the Underground RPG Ray!

Great to see Mike Mearls! Thanks Mike for the version of D&D that I have played and enjoyed the most! I am looking forward at what Chaosium will bring on the upcoming years! Cheers!

Fantastic art Stan. He's got a serious face. It is interesting learning about Dragonlance. I'm painting my house and this is giving me great audio material. I'm going to listen to all of these information rich episodes. Thank you again for making these. I hope you interview yourself for number 50.

"Pockets won't be invented for two editions yet." Oh man, you guys had me laughing out loud!

Diesel's description of the best seminar being where he just talked about old experiences and you saying that's what you're trying to recreate with this show is very accurate. You hit the nail on the head. That's why people like this show! Sounds like the Halloween parties were a lot of fun. I enjoyed hearing the stories. I love Diesel's old black and white art! Thanks for the stories Stan!

Thanks, Stan! and Ray!

Only caught the last 25 minutes, but Ray seems like an interesting guest. I'll watch the rest soon! Thanks for the awesome content Stan!

Great interview! As much as I love Dragonlance, Ray articulated brilliantly why it's not cost-effective to focus on setting specific gaming material. Though......I still hope they do it! 😂

Bill seems like a pretty wise dude.

Great episode Stan!

Super fun as always Stan!

Have really enjoyed your series and this was a great episode

Stan nailed the dragon's voice!

Very cool interview

Nice to see Mike again. His insights are always valued. His comments about staging your successes remind me of Larian's history. BG3 didn't happen overnight. They've been building up to it since the beginning, including getting laughed out of licensing meetings. :)

Great show!

michaeljpastor ​​Merry Christmas Stan! Best quote: ​"Here's a tax form." ​​ Yes, this conversation is very different and one of the best ones you've had. ​​Stan, I hope that Santa brings you a new computer for Christmas (even if it's later). ​​That was Ben Byrne that hosts the Eldritch Lorecast for Ghostfire Gaming. Nomenclature to describe the TTRPG experience(s) is vitally important and has never been properly codified. To Mike's later point, distribution has never been solved either. Ironically, the solution to both is largely the same: metadata tagging of games and products, much like the comic book industry has done with the Comet metadata standard through the work of ComicsPRO, the national comic book retailers' association. ​​D&D Beyond is the tax form software, referring back to Mike's analogy from earlier.

I have 25 bucks
