The endcap to Season 2 is an exclusive interview w/ former TSR designer, and current Elder Scrolls Online Senior Writer, Jeff Grubb. Jeff Grubb is an award-winning author, game designer, and world-builder. His extensive credits include AD&D’s Monster Manual II, Marvel Super Heroes game system, Unearthed Arcana, Manual of the Planes (1st ed.), Spelljammer, Al-Qadim, Tempest Feud, Urban Arcana, and has contributed and assisted on many more. He is the author of numerous short stories for the Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, and Thieves World settings. He is the author of Azure Bonds, The Wyvern’s Spur, and the Song of the Saurials. He was also written novels set in the Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Warcraft, Starcraft, and Magic: the Gathering worlds.

We were immensely grateful that he took the time out of his busy schedule to sit down and talk to us a bit about the early days of TSR, the creation of Dragonlance, his contributions to Dungeons & Dragons and more.

About ⅔ of the way through the interview Jeff’s cat, Kia, shows up and demands some attention. We have attempted to remove as much of their meows as possible, but you may hear some in the background.

The megadungeon Jeff and his friends are currently going through in their own DnD game is The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia. More information on that here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/399432/the-forbidden-caverns-of-archaia
