Gary Gygax and Zeb Cook Interviewed by Weem

by weem on August 21, 2010

Back in 2001, I ran a number of various RPG websites. For one such site, I sought out people in the industry to interview, including Gary Gygax and David “Zeb” Cook.

These interviews were published on my site at the time, but within a year, the site was taken down and before long those interviews were lost. Despite looking for them ever few years, my assumption has been that they were lost for good.

However, a few days ago while sifting through old CD’s, I found a few “data” (backup) CD’s that had old websites on them, and deep within those backups I finally found the interviews.

On Monday, I will be presenting part 1 of 2 from my 2001 interview with Gary Gygax. In this interview, you will see him answer questions from a fan (me) who was not following the industry closely yet, and was simply asking one of his heroes the questions that he had been wondering about for years.

In the interview with Zeb Cook, you will see a lot of the same thing – questions from a huge Planescape fan answered by the very man who created the setting.

I’m very excited to have found these, and look forward to sharing them soon!
