This last year saw the loss of Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson and Erick Wujcik, three of the founding fathers of the RPG hobby. What were their contributions and how did roleplaying become what it is today?
In this panel, recorded Saturday August 8 at Dragonflight 2009, gaming luminaries Peter Adkison, the founder and first CEO of Wizards of the Coast, Tim Beach, who contributed material to virtually all of TSR’s campaign settings in the 1990s, Skaff Elias the original VP of R&D for Magic: The Gathering and Jonathan Tweet one of the lead designers for the 3.0 edition of Dungeons & Dragons discuss the past and future of the hobby.
The audio is far from perfect as we had only our mobile recorder with us to tape at the panel, and no sound deck to plug into. We did what we could to share it with listeners, rather than have it not taped at all. –Shannon

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
If it’s not too much trouble, could somebody get a transcription of the audio, since I can’t hear many of the questions from the audience. Maybe a listener could type one out in the comments section, but it would be rather extensive there, instead of a textual attachment to the audio file.
Matt attended the panel with our mobile recording device (see picture above) and we did what we could with it. Sorry the audio is not great. If there is a listener who’d like to transcribe the interview, have at it, however we do not have access to one from the panel itself.
