Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Talking Dolmenwood With Creator Gavin Norman | QOC S2E1
Q: What are some traditions in our hobby that you think could or should be let go of or forgotten?
He thinks wall-of-text rulebook writing can be overwhelming for fast, in-game reading, but acknowledges that others enjoy rich prose; he values concise sections for quick reference while supporting formats that allow deeper digging for fans who want it.
Talking Dolmenwood With Creator Gavin Norman | QOC S2E1
Q: After spending over 10 years in Dolmenwood, how do you stay inspired and avoid burnout?
He says maintaining multiple projects helps—when Dolmenwood was finishing up, he switched to OSE material like the Demonic Grimoire and other adventures; staying active with several writing and layout projects keeps his mind fresh.
Talking Dolmenwood With Creator Gavin Norman | QOC S2E1
Q: Are there any new games that you've been enjoying or is it all Dolmenwood all the time?
Gavin explains that he's currently busy with his own projects but has been engaging with Old School Essentials content and related products; he's keeping up with the Demonic Grimoire crowdfunding and a few personal campaigns, but Dolmenwood remains the main focus.
Being a TTRPG Creator Ft TigerWizard (⁨@exaltedfuneral⁩) | QOC 24
Q: So for the folks at home, give us the elevator pitch of what Tavers is.
Tavers is the official Meow Wolf–inspired RPG where you play Tav ers who can access source to bend the rules of reality, told through a collaborative, story-forward style that emphasizes personal goals and a shared mystery.
Druskara, ShadowDark, and 80s Cartoons Ft @TheDungeonDamsel | QOC 23
Q: What were the inspirations behind Druskara's world and tone?
A blend of living-world games, Game of Thrones‑style political factions, Miyazaki's whimsical yet structured storytelling, Star Control 3's evolving outcomes, and earlier OSR vibes from ShadowDark and 80s/90s RPGs.
