Hello, Adventurer!

Welcome back to Geek Peek for the interview with the silly, wonderful, and always entertaining - Amy Vorpahl! She's an actor, writer, singer, and amazing Dungeon Mistress (her preferred term). Come along as we talk about first times, interesting characters, the struggle of dating in your 30's, and getting into the LA standup scene.

We also talk about her time on Dropout, writing for WOTC, and her ideal table. Make sure to stick around for our commemoration to Dog Nuts - The lost D&D character that the world deserved, and sadly will never see (maybe).

Greetings, traveler!

Thanks for stopping by the channel for some nerdy interview time with B. Dave Walters - Vampire, DM, player, writer, and all-around amazing human!

This is my first (of many more to come) interview for the channel, and I was extremely honored to have B. Dave stop by for a chat to talk about character creation, storytelling, and to talk about grooming tips since we are both in the "Big, Bald, and Beautiful" club.

Maybe you'll learn a thing or two from someone who has risen to the highest peaks of the TTRPG world! If not, you can take even more of B. Dave's training at The Undisputed Academy, where he offers courses on running games, playing games, world-building, and writing in general (books, comics, screenplays).

Make sure to stay to the end for the question of - Who do you want as a player that you haven't had yet? Spoiler - It was a twist!
