This Week's Guest ... Jim Butler
Join us this week for a live chat with Jim Butler, former designer, editor, and business manager for D&D, and current President of Paizo Publishing
Jim Butler started his career as a game designer and editor on Dungeons & Dragons at TSR before moving into management at Wizards of the Coast. He also founded Bastion Press at the height of the OGL movement. Currently he is president at Paizo Publishing.
Join us live on Wednesday, January 22 at 6pm Pacific time, and bring your questions for Jim (or Stan!).
While Stan! chats with Jim, he’ll be working on a cartoon homage to Kevin Tong's cover painting for the limited edition cover for 2020 campaign setting Mythic Odysseys of Theros.
If you have any questions for Jim, post them in reply to this message. Remember that if you’re a paid subscriber, your questions get bumped to the head of the queue.
If you’re enjoying the show, please help us grow our audience by sharing it and this newsletter with other folks you know who you think would also find it fun and entertaining. The BIGGEST challenge we have is growing the audience … and the BEST method to do that is word of mouth.
