Episode 42: Michael Polkinghorn

This week we interview a gentlemen with whom we have been eager to chat.  Michael Polkinghorn is the author of the very first adventure in Candlekeep Mysteries, our very favorite D&D adventure book from Wizards of the Coast.  He is also an individual with a fascinating backstory of his own.  Join us as Michael shares how he conceptualized his Candlekeep adventure, walks us through his broader familiarity with D&D (including his own podcast Relic of the Past), and shares with us some of his number of other nerdy interests.

Please check out Michael's diverse creative work:

Michael Polkinghorn started his professional life as a geologist.  He now works in the wine industry and can often be found walking the vineyards of Sonoma County with his family and four house tabaxi.

Welcome to Dice in Mind, a weekly podcast in which we explore the meaning of life through the lens of RPGs!  In each episode, we will consider everyday stuff like science, religion, philosophy, and economics…through the lens of a specific roleplaying game and its dice mechanic.
