The Wild 90s in TTRPGs!
This conversation was a great one!
First up today is Wolfgang Baur, a creator and businessperson whose fingerprints are all over the hobby. He can write fantasy like Tolkien and run a business like, uh, someone whose geeky, good at running a business, and not at all ethically challenged in this year of 2026. He's the creator of the MIDGARD campaign setting and the founder of Kobold Press.
My other guest today is Satyros Phil Brucato: a name that radiates pure 90s occult bookshelf energy in the best possible way. Phil is a designer who helped define an era: Mage: The Ascension, Werewolf, Wraith; games that didn't just ask "What do you do?" but "What do you believe?" and "What does it cost you?" Phil's work sits right at the crossroads of myth, philosophy, and punk-rock metaphysics.
