Interview with Mike Mearls

[LostSoul]

Didn't see this anywhere, so:

Theory From the Closet interviews Mike Mearls.

A good listen. He talks a lot about 4e.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

Interesting. I've downloaded it and I'll listen when I get home tonight. Thanks

I like how Mearls talks. He is really in the point, and doesn't go in tangents.

Also I think this directly addresses to the MMO and Gamist issues. At least, it satisfies me. I know it won't assuage those who have those issues, but.

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Very nice, lots of interesting questions and answers.

I found the bit about campaign settings interesting - about how you need a strong theme and shouldn't feel forced to cover every possible topic and culture just to appeal to everyone. (I wonder a little bit if Mike thinks the same about game systems ). I tend to agree - it appears to me as if the settings that were always highly acclaimed (Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Eberron, Midnight) seemed to have a very strong theme. If you like that theme, the setting is perfect, if you don't, you'll search for something else.

 

[LostSoul]

Bumping this because it's a really good interview.

 

[That One Guy]

Bumping for great justice.

Also, great ENWorld mention.

Forgot to sync my ipod this morning to listen to on the way to work.

Does anyone know of a manner in which a transcript of this can be found/created for those of us podcasturally challenged?

Thanks!

You can't listen to an mp3?

If you google podcast transcription services you'll find some for a few cents a minute.

I was sure that there was an automated free one used by the gizwiz twitt podcast but my google foo is broken.
