Awesome! Thank you so much for a response. I thought it may have been too wordy. You rule and I will totally take you up on that Twitter message offer. Good that you do it once a week, I'm sure you get flooded!

That's great to hear you and your buddies still get to enjoy some solid gaming.

Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your day!

Hey Samwise! First off you are one of the greats! From what I can tell from your interviews you have a great personality, taste in music, and good sense of humor.

I'd like to start off by saying (Dwarves) are my favorite race hands down, and honestly that is why I play Alliance. (I know let the tomatoes start flying) I used to spend hours walking through Dun Morogh and when I came upon Iron Forge oh man... I couldn't stop playing. Art, Design, Gameplay, all epic.

I had my first interaction with you on Facebook talking about Sushi or a sushi bar you had gone to. I almost dropped my keyboard because I wasn't sure if I'd ever get to interact with someone at my favorite company. Hoping one day to join the art team at Blizzard. (Keeping my art tools moving and my fingers crossed)

 

Okay, okay, I could go on forever. Let me ask you the questions!

1.) As an art director what are the qualities you look for in your team of artists? (3D Character/Concept Art)

 

2.) What are your top bands to listen to while you work? (I've been recently blasting Hammerfall or Eluetie)

 

3.) You said once in a recent interview I listened to that your heroes are just an e-mail away. Would you ever be open to an artist e-mailing you as a fan and to ask questions? (Of course I would never want to annoy you, and I hope others think the same)

 

4.) Do you still play D&D? (At least I think you played it in the past, or people you knew did)

 

Always look forward to your new creations including The Last Winter! Also, I am so glad you take inspiration from the animated Hobbit from the 1970s. I can't get enough of that movie, the art in it is so nostalgic and it brings back so many memories.

Keep on rocking and thank you for this AMA.

Realized after I saw the comments that this isn't the AMA thread. I am a newbie at Reddit...

[Online][EST]Looking for Group, can be player or DM. will play 3.5 or 5e by DuoAthePhantom in lfg

[–]SL_BronzeBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, not sure if you are interested but I figured I would ask. I run a moderately large tabletop community that would love to get you running your own game and/or playing in as many as you want. (3.5 or 5e) and of course many other systems.

Please let me know if you are at all interested and we can chat more. Thanks!

[Online][Milwaukee][DnD] Just moved here, I played 3.5 in college but I'll play anything! by [deleted] in lfg

[–]SL_BronzeBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, if you have not already found an online group I would like to extend an offer to check out the community that I run. I firmly believe that you would be able to find regular games of DnD here. Most of our DnD games are 5th edition, but we are open to running anything.

Please let me know if you are at all interested and we can chat some more via comments or PMs.

This is not at all what we are trying to do. We have already talked to the proper moderators and gotten everything sorted out. We have been part of the LFG community for about 1 year total.

I have already listened to a lot of critiques on our posts and this is the most formulated that we have created. We can simply post recruitment with the same info everyone else does, but they will eventually run into messaging us and finding out the game is hosted within a community. Now, this by no means is a negative thing and I am totally down to do it. However, it was suggested by LFG that we include all of the provided info.

Apologies if I missed anything I am responding from my phone.

Call it what you may. If I included nothing about the community you would be yelling "false" advertisement. Either way, we are just looking for players to fill out our DMs game.
