This Week's Guest ... Charles M. Ryan

This week we'll be talking with Charles M. Ryan—game designer, author, and business manager.

Charles M. Ryan has been working in the games industry for more than three decades. During that time he designed, wrote, and illustrated card, miniature, and TTRPG games from hit brands such as Dungeons & Dragons and Star Wars, and also niche indie hits such as Millennium’s End and Psychosis. He’s also the author of the historical fantasy novel The Mason of New Orleans, and the forthcoming The Angel of Ecbatana.

Join Stan! as he talks to Charles about his career in the industry, including his time as the Global Brand Manager for D&D and his current role as Chief Operating Officer of Monte Cook Games.

They’ll be live on YouTube on Wednesday (September 11) at 6pm Pacific.
