I was thrilled to talk with Teos and Shawn at @masteringdnd.bsky.social this week. We talked about Designers & Dragons: Origins, of course, but dug into some nice history too: Greyhawk's dungeons, Jack Fred, Palace of the Silver Princess! (The show is nicely indexed, so you can hear what you want!)

Terrific in-depth discussion here with @shannonappelcline.bsky.social on @masteringdnd.bsky.social. Not just about Designers & Dragons: Origins but also covering Shannon's early career in gaming and how he got started documenting the history of TTRPGs.

Really fun to read the new #DnD Adventures in Faerun book! I’m amazed the team seems to have advanced the calendar by 7-9 years to 1501 DR. Previous 5E adventures are now in the rearview mirror. We skipped some years and some fun years yet to come!

Reshare: Even as TSR and D&D’s early periods receive the gold-standard treatment, there’s much more to the hobby than one game and one company. But are those histories actually important? What is at stake if we forget them?

This is basic but I'm doing a lot of economic history right now for Tides of History and the reason prosperity and growth matter is because they usually make people's lives better: having enough to eat, access to shelter, avoidance of violence and massive stress, that's what economies are for.

Part of my possibly unfortunate fixation on the "medieval" part of "medieval fantasy" means that I would like to see fewer (or no) D&D characters with surnames, and more should have lineage-names ("Ragnal, Erik's Son"), epithets ("Halfdan Worm-Tamer"), or place-names ("Aethel of Badwall").
By which I mean that Knut Eriksson, Erik Knutsson and Erik Eriksson were fighting Sverker the Elder, Karl Sverkersson and Sverker the Younger (aka Sverker Karlsson).
because why come up with new names when the names you've got can take at least another few generations of wear and tear.
