Me and Mike Mearls

On the final day of Origins 2008, I sit down for a short interview with Mike Mearls, lead developer of 4e D&D. We talk about the game’s release, some DMing tips, older adventures, and much more.

(Quick note: I ended up moving the voice recorder at the beginning of the interview, so it sounds like crap to start. If anyone out there is good with cleaning up audio and wants to help, lemme know.)

TheGame is Dave Chalker, a lifelong gamer, freelance game designer, Master of Arts, and son of Jack L. Chalker. Dave is the Editor-in-Chief of Critical Hits and so runs the place. He is the envy of geeks everywhere because he's dating e, the Geek's Dream Girl. (Email Dave or follow him on Twitter).

    I give Mike credit. He was quite a gracious victim of our grilling. I was afraid that five gamers throwing questions at him would turn lunch into an interrogation.
