Of Fluff Kobolds and Geek Interviews

October 13, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Those who have followed my antics for a long time know of my ‘fued’ with the master of settings and fluff known as Wolfgang Baur.

The rules-crazy overlord in me as long since surrendered to his way of thinking where atmosphere, strong characterization and all around story goodness enhances a system’s rules.

Wolfgang now pilots several projects, chief among those his Open Design studio (that I one day hope to emulate).

However, another of his project that has grown tremendously is Kobold Quarterly.

It’s a D&D 3.5 magazine whose list of illustrious collaborators grows monthly.

While browsing the website last night, I found a pair of interviews of some of the people I met at Gen Con (and potential future bosses, I have to learn who they are!):

  • James Jacob, Editor in chief of Paizo’s Pathfinder line
  • Harley Stroh, Adventure Writer, currently at Goodman Games

I’m not a journalist and I’ll will tend to leave interviewing to bloggers such as the ones from Critical-Hits.

Still, I’d like to do a few interviews in the next few months:

  • Wolfgang Baur
  • Mike Mearls
  • WIl Wheaton
  • Felicia Day

I’d take a question set similar to a quiz I did a long time ago and try to get their playing/DMing motivation and favorite RPG tropes.

I think I’ll do my thing and ignore my sense of inadequacy and send my questions to thier respective emails.

Have a great week!

    Make sure you ask Wil how his Shellfishcore Hiphop is coming along.

    Interviews with them? I looking forward to it! I’m always interested to hear how someone turned their passion into a career.

    Getting a hold of Wolfgang is feasible and highly likely… the rest… not so sure unless I meet them in a Con.

    But hey, I’m not one crazy project short of trying!
