Awesome interview, really enjoyed hearing that Chirs Perkins and i share similar DM styles (atleast in my head we do!).
On a side note, was that subtle product placement intentional? *cough* Sprite *cough*, haha
Thanks Nick, looking forward to seeing more in the future.

Nicholas says
Believe it or not, the Sprite can was even more prominent in the raw footage. My camera’s autofocus decided it was the most important thing in the shot. Oh well, I know better for next time.
Speaking of next time, if this turns out to be popular there will be more. Chris and I will even try to pull in some more folks! So if you like this kind of thing, leave a comment!
Nicholas says
By the way, he did kill me with that Beholder. Fortunately I got better.
The O says
Great interview Nick! Keep ’em coming!
Keaton says
I think this is awesome! I can learn a lot from people like Chris Perkins! Definitely keep them coming.
Jeremy says
I really enjoyed this, too! It’s a lot of fun to hear what the pros have to say. Also: Chris Perkins is way more buff than I expected one of the world’s biggest D&D dorks to be. Evidently those TPKs help build big guns… I’ll have to work on that! Always interesting to see someone for the first time when you’ve heard so much of their voice.
Thanks!

In the Robot Chicken vids, Chris looks like Timothy Olyphant in Hitman :>
Yes, these interviews are welcome, as long as you continue to provide an audio-only file too for those of us with less-than-sophisticated mp3 players :>

Chris Perkins is a sexy sexy man. I say this in full confidence that such a remark will not damage my heterosexual standing.

Jimmy Trinket says
Golly gosh I dig Chris Perkins. I DM for a bunch of school children, and it can be quite crazy at times. I only hope they think I do half as good a job as this guy. Great interview, I got some great ideas for future adventures with my group.
Good work Nick!
pssst, sorry to hear about the Beholder incident. ๐
