Welcome RPG Ramblings with Jeff Jones. This a weekly show exploring the various details of the TableTop RPG hobby through discussions with interesting people.

The first interview is with freelance writer and game designer, Matt Forbeck. His work history is too long and detailed to list here but is only a google search away. We talk about his journey into full-time freelance work at an early age as well as his work and friendship with many of the “Old Guard” of TSR. We also get to hear how a crazy, impetuous leap made in his youth paid off. His experiences and advice are still applicable for us starting a freelance career today.

The second part is an off-the-cuff discussion with Morgan Grover whom I interviewed in Episode 7. Here Morgan extols his love for Shadow of the Demon Lord and I grind my ax regarding how my normal dislike of High Fantasy is fueled to hate by bad adventure design in Decent into Avernus. Morgan explains how he fixed those shortcoming in the game he runs PLUS he also explains why Shadow of the Demon Lord is the perfect system to run The Cure of Strahd.

It is time to get Rambling.
