• Casual Magic Episode 282 - Stan!
    Jun 24 2025

    This week I'm joined by games industry legend Stan! to talk about his time working on D&D and Pokemon, and what Wizards was like when Hasbro bought them! Stan! and I have been friends for decades now, back when he was a Dragonlance designer and I was just a fanboy, and I consider him to be one of my mentors and inspirations. He also does an amazing podcast covering the history of D&D with the folks who were there that is worth your time.
