Posted by Roblimo on from the my-imaginary-friend-is-a-giant-lizard-that-breathes-fire dept.

Mike Mearls is the Senior Manager for the Dungeons and Dragons Design Team. He's been with D&D publishers Wizards of the Coast (a subsidiary of Hasbro) since 2005, Before that he was a free-lance game writer and designer. In this conversation with Slashdot editor Rob "samzenpus" Rozeboom, he talks about changes in the latest version of D&D and how the company interacts with players. (We'll have some more chat with Mike next week, different wizard time, same wizard channel, so stay tuned.)

    All you problems can be summed up in one sentence:

    "You aren't a good DM."
    Sorry, but nothing there is a problem in any way what so ever.

    Every single one of those can be dealt with with better fight balance, and role playing.
    You should listen to fear the boot. The first 100 or so episodes.
