At GenCon 2008, we sat down (well, he sat down and we stood) and interviewed James Wyatt, Story Lead for D&D and primary author of the DMG. We talk about the game he ran for us (full report to come later), writing the DMG, his upcoming projects (Eberron Campaign Setting, Eberron Player’s Guide, and Player’s Handbook 2), the implied setting for D&D 4e, building your campaign world, his campaign idea about a Conan-esque/Fool Wolf-esque setting for D&D, and we manage to squeeze a plug in at the very end.

Who’s that guy again?
=)
I loved playing with him and he,s part of the reason why I leveled up as a GM at Gen Con.
James Wyatt rocks and I’ll actually mimick his mannerisms in my next game!
I really feel bad for blowing him off when things went from interesting to “OH my god we’re in deep shit!” but friends who made time to play in your game come first at Gen Con.
