Hail Tavernsters!
As many of you know, I have hit Power Word Reload and taken us back to the early 1980s and the dawn of the computer role-playing game genre with classics like Pool of Radiance, the first game in the Gold Box from SSI, set in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons ruleset.
I have clear memories of playing through the Krynn series of Gold Box games as a child and chucking dice with friends while arguing over the opaque rules of the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set. Those formative experiences helped shape my love for high fantasy, role-playing games and so many of my interests and hobbies today.
While playing through these beloved classic CRPGs, I thought it could be fresh and fun for myself and my community to invite both luminaries from the TSR and game developers who were influenced by Dungeons & Dragons and tabletop role-playing games to come by the channel and share with us memories where they discovered their own love for this genre.
And we're kicking things off this Thursday, September 5th, with celebrated CRPG developer George Ziets! His highlights include:
Wasteland 3
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Pillars of Eternity
Dungeon Siege III
Fallout: New Vegas
Neverwinter Nights 2
Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO)
Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar
Earth & Beyond
And of course, his work as the creative lead on the acclaimed expansion for Neverwinter Nights 2, the Mask of the Betrayer. Looking forward to seeing you all there for the discussion; here’s the link to the stream:
