We learn all about his history with RPGs and what it's like to license and localize Japanese books from 20+ years ago. It's a real treat and we get into the weeds, especially when we discuss LionWing's upcoming release from their wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, Wares Blade; a fantasy mech tabletop from the 80s.
