My Top 5 RPG Interviews of 2014

In the last year, I had the pleasure of interviewing a wide variety of people. Some of those are in video form, while others are in transcript form. It being New Year's Eve, I though I'd take a moment to pick five of my favourite video interviews of the year (I much prefer in-person interviews - they're so much fun to do). All the guests were wonderful. I was not so great, but luckily all I had to do was let the guests be awesome.

[h=4]5. Teos Abadia[/h]
You may know Teos by his online username, Alphastream. Teos heard that I was a little confused about D&D organized play and the Adventurer's League, and kindly spent some time explaining to me how it all works.

[h=4]4. Trapdoor Technologies[/h]
The hour or so I spent with Trapdoor Technologies, being introduced to what was then called DungeonScape (now Codename: Morningstar) was fun. I spoke to Evan Newton, Chris Matney and Rachel Bowen, who were all fun to talk to an clearly enthusiastic about their project.

[h=4]3. Kevin Kulp[/h]
It was really fun to sit down with my friend Kevin Kulp, author of the upcoming TimeWatch RPG, and chat about the game on camera for half an hour or so. As you can see, Kevin is very easy to talk to and a wonderful interviewee.

[h=4]2. Monte Cook & Shanna Germain[/h]
Monte and Shanna were incredibly charming guests when I spoke to them back in June. Our conversation wandered over a wide range of topics, covering their careers, working at WotC, and current projects. This interview was a true pleasure to conduct.

[h=4]1. Ryan Dancey[/h]
In this interview, Ryan Dancey talks about a wide variety of subjects from the early days of WotC, the acquisition of TSR, the Open Gaming License, as well as more recent subjects including MMORPGs and Goblinworks, the makers of Pathfinder Online. A fascinating interview!

[h=4]Honourable Mention: Claudio Pozas[/h]
Only because I know he'll hate me for this... my friend and artist, the Right Honourable Welsh artist Claudio Pozas.
