David "Zeb" Cook on Planescape and Set Design in Games
Our guest this week at The Corner of Story and Game is David "Zeb" Cook. What is there left to say about Zeb? This is the man who created Planescape, was the lead designer on AD&D 2nd Edition, and created numerous other non-D&D games. In 1994, he departed from TSR and ventured into digital games, most recently working as a designer at ZeniMax Online Studios on the expansive The Elder Scrolls Online.
Zeb was kind enough to take a break from his retirement to venture down memory lane and share some of the wisdom he has picked up in his decades of crafting games. There is a lot of great advice here, from making sure your writing fits the setting of an established IP, to ensuring you tell the story you are passionate about. And of course, I have to pick his brain on Planescape!
