Thank you so much for offering this in audio. I'm always looking for things to listen to while I walk my dog and this topic is spot on aligned with my interest. I'm really excited to listen to this.
I’ve been a DM and LARPER for almost 10 years now and the format continues to surprise me. For those who are looking for some great indie tabletop roleplay games made by some cutting edge designers in the UK, I really recommend checking out https://www.melsonia.com/ their games Troika and Swyvers take the DnD format into amazing new genres inspired by Terry Pratchett and Charles Dickens!
I've done quite a bit of DM'ing in my days (mid to late 90s) and you really never know what to expect, even when you have the script under your nose. When writing a script, you have to leave a lot of open doors, a lot of options for the players, and you always need to expect the unexpected. There were a few times when I ran the same module with different sets of players, and each time the outcome was very different. It really is fascinating.
Thank you Simon for sharing this. My 12 year old granddaughter just started playing in an after school program. She wants to be a writer and has been enjoying it. She tried to explain it to me, but your post filled some missing pieces. I look forward to reading the interview.
I’m definitely going to listen to this when I have a chance! I actually run a weekly role playing game, and I love the unexpected twists and turns of collaborative storytelling!

Sending to my brother. He's a DM. I totally respect the art, but unfortunately I'm TERRIBLE at improvising and therefore can't hang in D&D.
