Thanks for having me. It's great to be chatting with both of you again.

Yeah, so Horizons Magazine is a new TTRPG game magazine for fifth edition and other systems with four articles every quarter full of cool stuff to use in your games. We also have an op-ed every issue, which is a nerdy deep dive from the desk of many thoughts.

First one is by me and my co-founder, and we have a bunch of other cool folks in the works to write about their nerdy ideas, thoughts, passions, rants, and a lot of other game designers and amazing illustrators lined up. But first, let's talk about the issue that just came out.

Sorry, I jumped ahead right there. So eager to get into it. So I am a game designer and editor and sometime art director and wearer of many hats, as many of us in this industry are. I've been working in TTRPGs for about, oh God, like six years now, which feels like, which isn't that long in the grand 50 year history of D&D, but sure feels like it's gone by fast.

And I've worked with both of you in the past on Wizards of the Coast products, on DMs Guild add-up stuff back when that was a thing. I worked with Critical Role on a number of their books, including as the co-lead designer and the managing editor of Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn. on also Explorer's Guide to Wildemeyer and Call of the Netherdeep.

And I was the managing editor at MCDM Productions for a while leading a magazine called Arcadia, which is the precursor to what we are doing now with Horizons at my publishing company, Wildemeyer Press.

Yeah, so Clara I met as an illustrator for Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn. So Clara is a fantastic woman and creator of many talents, which is many talents and many creative and nerdy hobbies, which is one of the things we bonded over and became friends. But we met when she was brought on to do some illustration for Tal'Dorei Reborn. We needed some item illustration.

And there are a lot of fan artists out there who do amazing character art. A lot of fan artists out there do scenes and landscapes. And we needed somebody who was really strong in illustrating stuff and illustrating items and spot art. And that kind of thing is... Sometimes a little less flashy, but requires just as much skill and knowledge.

And I looked at Clara's fan art and looked at her website and said, oh, she's a graphic designer. She is doing this really cool fan art with these still lives. She seems really cool. I think she'll be great for this. And

We loved working with her so much that we had her do some more extra pieces of art and I connected her with the folks on the main Critical Role streaming side and she's had a fantastic time working with them doing key art for Critical Role Campaign 3 of the beginning setting there, the key art for Exandria Unlimited Calamity, the key art for Downfall.
