This week, I am excited to present my interview with David Gaider, a veteran writer and narrative designer who has made significant contributions to the gaming industry. David started his career as part of the BioWare team, working on some of the most iconic games of our time, including Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

So, come on in, grab your seat by the fire, and let's hear what David has to say about his journey and experiences in the worlds of gaming and writing. We dig into, amongst other things: How David "stumbled" into the gaming industry, His history and experience creating games for tabletop rpgs and LARPs, Starting out at BioWare, How to craft a story without controlling the protagonist, The struggles of moving from prose writing to creating branching narratives, The importance of looking after yourself as a writer and avoiding burnout, Focusing on creating characters first and plot second, and The challenges and excitement of creating a branching narrative musical!

When you don't have clear thoughts, you don't make clear decisions! Tune in to this illuminating episode of P.S.A: The Mental Health Podcast, where we welcome the distinguished Mikey Pearlz, a lauded entrepreneur, revered mentor, and pioneer in the cannabis industry. Join us for an invigorating conversation filled with lessons on bravery, tenacity, and authenticity, firmly anchored in honesty and truth.We initiate the episode with Mikey epitomizing the essence of the phrase, "In this season, I refuse to retreat from my actions or words, no matter the consequences". Immerse yourself in his powerful motto, "I said what I said", a belief stemming from Proverbs 10:9 and fortified by David Gaider's insights. This proves that the Real Housewives are not the only ones audacious enough to stand by their words! Venture into the Happy Hour segment for an enthralling tale tinged with a dash of humor surrounding the topic of fellatio, where Izzy recalls a mischievous joke from his past. While riding this wave of laughter, we delve into a labyrinth of deception, discussing Independence Day festivities and the trajectory of Mikey's life.We take an exclusive look into Mikey's foundation, his journey into the cannabis industry, and his parents' reaction to his unconventional career path. Key discussions orbit around the concepts of 'integrity', 'consequence', and 'back down', revealing the mechanics behind Mikey's unwavering commitment to his decisions and ideologies.Highlighting the crucial connection between mental health and authenticity, we emphasize how standing firm on personal beliefs can considerably enhance self-esteem, self-confidence, nurture authenticity, fortify resilience, and foster healthier relationships, all of which are instrumental in maintaining solid mental health.The podcast shifts gears as Mikey, a seasoned entrepreneur in varied industries, imparts knowledge on capitalizing self-education, mentorships, managing entrepreneurial pressures, and achieving equilibrium. We further explore his love for music, his experience owning a studio, and Izzy's revelation on how his podcast benefited more from strangers than close friends.However, the journey isn't without its challenges. We critically examine how standing firm on one's beliefs can sometimes backfire, leading to inflexibility, social exclusion, and chronic stress.Mikey further shares his networking strategies, an essential ingredient to his entrepreneurial triumph.In our segment 'The Weekly Sabbatical', we delve into the realm of falsehoods and dissect Mikey's decision to abandon Morehouse College despite receiving a full scholarship. His rationale for relocating from STL and returning, and his business foray into Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are also part of the discussion.As we approach the end, our segment 'I'm Glad I Said it or I Wish I Didn't' lightens the atmosphere with humorous narratives about the impact of speaking the truth.Concluding, we offer Mikey the stage to share words of wisdom for ambitious entrepreneurs on maintaining mental health while chasing their aspirations.In this episode, Mikey Pearlz transcends his guest role to become an inspiration. He enlightens us on the importance of standing by our truth, living with integrity, and courageously facing consequences.

Eccoci qui con un altro episodio del Weekly con Alessandro e Francesco! Apriamo la puntata con un articolo di Jason Schreier sul travagliato sviluppo di Redfall, il disastroso gioco prodotto da Arkane Austin (01:30). Poi parliamo di Valheim e della spinosa faccenda dei mod a pagamento (28:25). Quindi ci diamo un tono chiacchierando di intelligenze artificiali: prima del loro impiego nei videogiochi partendo da una dichiarazione al riguardo di David Gaider (creatore del mondo e della storia di Dragon Age), poi della lettera aperta al mondo che circa 300 luminari nel campo hanno scritto per invitare le autorità a prendere provvedimenti per limitare e regolamentare più strettamente gli studi su questa tecnologia (37:20). “La lista dei cattivi” si apre con un aggiornamento sullo sciopero indetto dei giocatori della lega nord-americana di League of Legends, a cui Riot ha dato una risposta tutt'altro che conciliante (01:08:00). Poi parliamo delle ultime notizie sui guai legali di Yuji Naka, che ha ammesso la sua colpevolezza nel caso di insider trading che lo vede coinvolto (01:12:10). “Baci e abbracci” è interamente dedicato al Pride Month di quest'anno (giugno 2023). Apriamo con la notizia che il cast di Overwatch 2 ha due nuovi personaggi queer: Baptiste e Pharah (01:15:50). Poi ci facciamo due risate a spese di un articolista della Fox e parliamo di come Link, il protagonista della serie Zelda, sia da tempo un'icona per la comunità trans (01:31:13). Chiudiamo segnalando il Queer Games Bundle 2023 di itch.io (01:47:20). Buon ascolto!

In this week's episode, the Cups dive into another main character and party companion--this time from Dragon Age 2. Yep, that's right. We're finally talking about Teecup's favorite character: Fenris. We talk about what little we know of Fenris's backstory and childhood, but we spend most of our time focusing on his roles in Dragon Age 2 as a companion and in the comics as the Blue Wraith. We also discuss his status as a former slave in Tevinter, and how that affects his views on magic. We also discuss his antagonistic relationship with Anders, his ability to come back in Dragon Age Dreadwolf, and of course, whether we love or hate him.

Today on the Weekly show, we're talking Pride Week, as well as recapping the rest of Eurogamer for you. My guests wrote some of the wonderful pieces we've published as part of Pride Week. They are show newcomers Ed Nightingale, a news reporter on Eurogamer - who you'll recognise from the Newscast - and, all the way from tabletop land, Dicebreaker senior staff writer Alex Meehan. Alex often writes the Dicebreaker Recommends posts you see on Eurogamer each month. Ed helped organise Pride Week this year so we begin with his thoughts on it, before moving onto his interview with the first openly trans eSports caster, Eli "Captain Fluke". She's blazing a trail in the Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant worlds and helping power a self-fulfilling loop of change there. Alex, meanwhile, wrote about how a visual novel game called Arcade Spirits: The New Challengers provided her with a safe space to enjoy her sexuality away from the preconceptions and pressure sometimes attached to it. She also wrote about loud and proud tabletop RPG Thirsty Sword Lesbians, calling it "a glorious escape from inhibition". Pride Week has been brilliant and there are still some pieces to come. My podcast interview with BioWare/Dragon Age legend David Gaider is among them and will be made available to everyone later today. A big shout out to Matt Wales for putting the whole week together, and to Lottie Lynn and Ed for helping him. Also on Weekly, we talk about super-exciting new Devolver game Cult of the Lamb, which I've just fallen in love with; we take a closer look at timeline-altering horror game Eternal Threads, which Vikki has just reviewed; and we whisk through the recent Nintendo Direct, singling out the announcements that stood out to us. Ed manages to also talk about Lady D stepping on him again as he looks forward to Resident Evil Village DLC Shadows of Rose. That, plus everything else that caught my eye around the site this week. I'm Bertie, this was Weekly, and we'll see you next week. Eurogamer supporters get Weekly episodes every Friday, ahead of everyone else.

(Apologies for this episode's recording quality.) I don't think David Gaider needs much of an introduction. He, affectionately, is mister Dragon Age. He was the one tasked with dreaming up the entire world and everything in it. We talk about it in this episode of One-to-one. BioWare's James Ohlen apparently gave Gaider a historic atlas and an "off you go". But how did he go about creating it - where do you even start with something like that? And what did the original vision for Dragon Age look like? Well, I can tell you it didn't have any Darkspawn in it, which is wild, considering Darkspawn were the main threat in the game and featured heavily in the series thereafter. And get this: originally, you weren't going to be able to cast any offensive magic spells in the game either - imagine that! Gaider was also a key figure in the rise of LGBTQ+ representation and same-sex relationships in BioWare games, and is the creator of arguably the studio's most famous characters in this regard, Dorian. Curiously, though, it wasn't Gaider who started the same-sex relationships push but someone else, in Jade Empire - he doesn't remember who. 'Whaaat we can do that?' He remembers thinking when he saw it, and the rest was history. But being gay was a side of himself he kept pretty quiet at BioWare, feeling it wouldn't gel with the "frat boy" atmosphere he felt around him. It wasn't until Canada legalised same-sex marriage and a wedding email thread went around, garndering many enthusiastic replies, that he realised he'd maybe worried for no reason, and relaxed. Gaider has had a remarkable effect on BioWare and its games. And to think that he initially turned down a job offer there because it seemed like a scruffy company with an uncertain future, compared to his managerial post at a hotel nearby. I know: he wasn't even working in games! But he did live in games, having played Dungeons & Dragons since it began and in writing parlour LARPS of his own. BioWare and Dragon Age were quite a long time ago for Gaider now, though. He talks me through his reasons for leaving and how he felt the company was changing. Fast-forward to today and he lives on the other side of the world in Australia, where he helped co-found a studio making a brilliant-sounding role-playing musical called Stray Gods: An Adventure Musical. But how does a musical RPG work? David Gaider tells me a lot more about it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this Season Two premiere, Shelby and Austin take a look at the infamous Grey Wardens, one of the very first factions we're introduced to in Dragon Age: Origins. If you've played all of the games, you probably know quite a bit about the Wardens. And if you've only played one of the games, you still probably know quite a bit about the Wardens. In this episode, we'll take a look at the founding and history of the Grey Warden order, as well as their actions throughout the Blights, their structure, and their recent political machinations.

In this week's episode, Austin and Shelby take a deeper look at the Old Gods, the rise and fall of the worship of the Old Gods, and how they are connected to the Blight and the darkspawn. Questions about this topic abound: Can we trust what the Chantry says about the creation of the Blight and darkspawn? On the other hand, can we trust Tevinter's view of the Old Gods? And can we even trust what Corypheus and the Architect have to say about these topics? We (attempt) to answer these questions and more.

On this week's episode of The Game Informer Show podcast, we ... well, we go long. Way long. But this week's show is packed with content. First, I sit down with Joe Juba and Matthew Kato to discuss perhaps one of the most debated triple-A games ever released, Death Stranding. Next up, we knock out all four games that grace the cover of Game Informer issue 320: Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, and Hearthstone: Descent of Dragons. This segment features an all-star cast of Game Informer editors who traveled to Blizzard's HQ to play the games and spent days with the team, learning about these blockbuster titles. In this week's community email segment Ben Reeves, Dan Tack, and Matt Miller answer questions and I tell an old tale. Emails are fun and irreverent as always. In our final segment, I talk with Liam Ester, managing director, and David Gaider, creative director, of Summerfall Studios, who recently hit their fundraising goal on fig.co for their upcoming title, Chorus: An Adventure Musical. It is an interesting talk about how they applying their passion for musicals with their long history with role-playing games. If you are interested in learning more or donating, hit this link.

This weekend, I'll be attending The Descent, a Dungeons and Dragons live event in Los Angeles. And so for this week's episode, we're diving into the Sewers archive with a conversation from 2016 featuring game writer David Gaider.You may recognize his name as one of the co-creators of some of the most popular sci-fi and fantasy stories in the world -- his work appears in Baldur's Gate 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights, and many more.Though he's been telling stories his whole life, David never planned to become a professional game designer. He didn't think creative work could ever be practical, and even went so far as to turn down the job that would eventually change his life. For years, he operated under the assumption that nobody would be interested in the kinds of stories he really wanted to tell. Until one day he included a piece of himself in his work and found that it didn't just open a door for him, but unlocked new possibilities for everyone around him.And if you like hearing about queer game creators, you might also like Sewers of Paris episode 177, where I chat with Jeremy Crawford, lead rules designer for Dungeons and Dragons.Big thanks to everyone who makes The Sewers of Paris possible with a pledge of support on Patreon -- head over to Sewers and click "Support the show on Patreon" to check out the rewards for backers.

David Gaider is a game designer, writer, and narrative designer, with a long and storied history at RPG powerhouse Bioware. Today, David is the creative director at Beamdog, helping to bring enhanced editions of some of the games he worked on back in his Bioware days to modern hardware and audiences. David recently sat with our host Jason Imms at the Game Connect Asia Pacific conference in Melbourne to talk about his work on Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, and Knights of the Old Republic, being a reluctant spokesperson for gay representation in games, and what it's actually like to write for a living.
My guest this week is writer and game developer David Gaider, whose work appears in Baldur's Gate 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, several novels. Though he's been telling stories his whole life, David never planned to get into the game industry -- creative jobs just aren't practical, he used to think, and even went so far as to turn down the job that would eventually change his life.
This month we are having a very general discussion of Dragon Age as a series with two of our FPS editors Betsy Brey and Elise Vist. We discuss a whole variety of stuff in this hour including what it is about Dragon Age that makes people obsessively play these games over and over, the differences between Dragon Age and Mass Effect, the in-game politics, histories and philosophies of the games, and the focus on romance and sexuality within the universe. This podcast does contain spoilers, especially for Dragon Age 2, but is mostly general discussion about the series.

Matt shares his epic story of hardware failure, and offers a comparison of Dragon Age for consoles and Dragon Age for the PC. And Dotte returns to the show.
