Now let’s hear from them!
What was the first TTRPG you played?
As a child, a friend made up what he thought was D&D. Shortly thereafter my parents bought D&D basic set. Red box.
What artwork or piece of literature has inspired your TTRPG work?
As a music composer who does orchestral scores, A lot of Beethoven is inspirational. The JRR Tolien(sic) books are obviously an inspiration for the entire fantasy genre. The Prince if Thorns (sic) series has clever use of intercutting. Our show takes inspiration from contemporary film storytelling techniques such as flash-backs and inter-cutting of scenes.
Describe your ideal job or assignment in the TTRPG space
Producing our show.
If your home town was launching a new professional sports team, what D&D monster would you choose as their mascot?
Griffin
Have you ever felt like an outsider in the TTRPG space? Describe if you can.
No. I am concerned by the rise in polarisation, us-and-them, and cancel culture in broader society and that, unsurprisingly, manifests in the TTRPG space, but I personally feel like I have as much a right to be in the space as anyone else.
THANKS!
