RPG designer Bruce Nesmith discusses his career as a TSR veteran (Ravenloft 2E, Gamma World 4E, Dragonlance), Elder Scrolls Skyrim lead designer, and now novelist. Bruce's first day at TSR was an experience, to say the least. What does he consider his biggest achievement while at TSR? Bruce's opinion of TSR under Gary Gygax versus Lorraine Williams and what he considers TSR's “glory days”. What was his job description as lead designer on The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim? Why did Oblivion have a big celebrity but Skyrim didn't? Bruce was years ahead of the game when it came to his revamp of the Armor Class system for Gamma World 4E. What do you do when you want to play D&D but you don't have the rules? You invent it, including simulating the d20 with d6s. Writing for games versus writing prose. Bruce's Loki in his novel Mischief Maker is not the MCU Loki. Shane laments the lack of a werecow in TSR publications. Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #255 - 4/15/2022 Like what you hear?

Zeb Cook's RPG design history includes such important highlights as the “Expert” portion of B/X D&D, AD&D 2nd Edition, Oriental Adventures, Planescape, Star Frontiers, and more! He's also had career highlights in video games including City of Villains, Fallout 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online. Did you know AD&D 2nd Edition had a significant playtest effort (and why wasn't the armor class system changed then)? Whose idea was it to have the first wilderness adventure, why were there dinosaurs in The Isle of Dread, and why was it set on an island? Crashing on Gary Gygax's couch. What strange business venture did TSR make that had Zeb in stitches? Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #243 - 7/1/2021 Like what you hear?

Platonic solids and the nature of reality. What was Gary Gygax’s design reason for saving throws? The three types of wargamers. A D&D cookbook. Orc bacon. Bonus bad jokes.
