Wolfgang Baur & Steve Winter on Ghosts of Saltmarsh
Dragon Talk - 04/25/2019
Shelly is back in town and we are super psyched to banter the night away on the mic about all of the happening at D&D Live 2019: The Descent. Also in town are Wolfgang Baur and Steve Winter from Kobold Press in the studio to talk about their work bringing the adventures from Ghosts of Saltmarsh up to fifth edition, and to throw some 40-year-old fantasy shade. In LYSK, Chris Perkins expounds more on the Lady of Pain and her place in the multiverse.

Greg Tito
Greg Tito has had weird and long career as an Off Broadway stage manager, a playwright, a theater carpenter, a secretary, an RPG designer, a games journalist, and now a PR/Marketing person. He has loved Dungeons & Dragons ever since 1985 when he found an old copy of the AD&D Dungeon Master’s Guide on his brother’s bookshelf and he honed that love of fantasy storytelling in the dark streets of Sasserine by way of the Upper West Side gaming group he joined in 2004. He moved his family (wife + two young kids) to Seattle in 2015 to work on D&D and he’s never looked back.
Shelly Mazzanoble
Shelly Mazzanoble will always play a magic-user. There. She said it. Enough pretending to want to break out of her comfort zone. She’s a magic-user. She’s also the brand lead for Avalon Hill and loves talking about that one time she played Diplomacy and SOMEONE (okay, it was Ben Petrisor) stabbed her in the back and took over her beloved Russia. If you enjoy tales of sorcery, board game upheavals, and reasons her 3 year-old is crying (HINT: She tried to make him eat a Nutella crepe), find Shelly on Twitter and Facebook.
