I was thinking the same thing. There should already be a Baker interview topic thread. Let's collaborate and come up with some questions I can pose.

Great news! We can open a new thread just for collecting questions in the Inn for such future interview!

Really interested in those other unreleased packs sent to Hasbro...!

So I got to meet Stephen Baker, he's a really nice guy. He's working on a new game entitled "Where Heroes Dare," which was supposed to come out in October, but it looks like it's been moved to March 2025. It's HeroQuest like, a little more advanced but not as complex as D&D.
I did get to ask about Prophecy of Telor and the closing section about the dark clouds. He said he just likes leaving the ending openended for later quests, which is why Zargon is never completely defeated.
He also mentioned submitting other quest packs to Hasbro, but either they're just sitting on those for later or only wanted 1 with his name on it.

He's intending to send me and the 3 other players an Email to survey the game. I told him I wouldn't post his Email as he could potentially be bombarded by unwanted Emails. But I asked about maybe doing an interview in the future, which he said he'd be open to. He knows about the inn and would like to offer feedback for some questions.

Rob, the host of Dungeons of Hope was also present and offered me a position as Zargon. I said living in NY might complicate things on that front, but he insisted saying they need experienced Zargon's and I don't need to travel until the actual date.

Furthermore I was able to get Stephen Baker's autograph, one for me and one on an instruction booklet I'm still willing to send out. I feel bad for not being able to follow through after the last Dungeons of Hope I attended.

wallydubbs! The Inn's premier playtester is prepared to play for Stephen Baker's? PERFECT!

j_dean80, glad to hear you're joining the Hall of Heroes! I'll be sure to keep this thread going this time so when the time approaches we're all ready.

The nice bonus is we're lifting the profile of our cherished game while helping some people in real need. If wallydubbs plays the Elf, I'll be assigning the Elf icon reward to any Inn member who pledges 50 gold coins or more.


I'll donate, just need to know where to.


If it's anything like it was 2 years ago, they won't start the donation pledges until September or October.


Just keep me posted so I don't forget. That's a long time to remember it, but I'm definitely in.

I had intended to hold a raffle for the pledges two years ago, winner was to get a signed instruction booklet by Stephen Baker. But since he cancelled I didn't get to follow through. However if everything goes according to plan I should be getting the chance to meet Baker next week. He's playtesting a new game, Rob Zielonka (host of Dungeons of Hope) invited me to be one of the testers. I'm super stoked about it. I'm hoping to leave an impression on Baker to possibly warrant future meetings.
