Episode description

In the history of pen and paper role playing games, no company name looms larger than TSR, creators of Dungeons and Dragons, and in the realm of computer role playing games one of the greatest publishers has been Bethesda.

Our guest today, Bruce Nesmith, worked for both of these company's in their hay day, first as a programmer for TSR on their ill-fated venture into software publishing in the early 80s and then as a writer for both TSR and Bethesda. From highs to lows and back again, a true insider's view of the life of a game dev.

Recorded March 2023
