ABOUT THIS EPISODE
My guest this week is author Michael Stackpole. Michael has a long and fantastic career highlighted, among many things, by his work on the Star Wars X-wing books in the 90’s. He’s written in both his own original worlds and for intellectual properties, including Star Wars, Battletech, and World of Warcraft. As a long time gaming writer and enthusiast, he’s worked on both tabletop RPGs and computer games.
Michael is kind enough to let my inner teenager gush about Star Wars and chat about his process in creating the X-wing books. We also discuss his work on the original Wasteland game and briefly touch on its influence on the Fallout universe. We get into a long conversation on the history of the entertainment industry and the scale and longevity of a writer’s fame. Enjoy my conversation with Michael Stackpole!
