Interlude - Jeff Grubb Interview
Jul 1, 2025
The endcap to Season 2 is an exclusive interview w/ former TSR
designer, and current Elder Scrolls Online Senior Writer, Jeff
Grubb. Jeff Grubb is an award-winning author, game designer, and
world-builder. His extensive credits include AD&D’s Monster
Manual II, Marvel Super Heroes game system, Unearthed Arcana,
Manual of the Planes (1st ed.), Spelljammer, Al-Qadim, Tempest
Feud, Urban Arcana, and has contributed and assisted on many more.
He is the author of numerous short stories for the Dragonlance,
Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, and Thieves World settings. He is the
author of Azure Bonds, The Wyvern’s Spur, and the Song of the
Saurials. He was also written novels set in the Dragonlance,
Forgotten Realms, Warcraft, Starcraft, and Magic: the Gathering
worlds.
We were immensely grateful that he took the time out of his busy
schedule to sit down and talk to us a bit about the early days of
TSR, the creation of Dragonlance, his contributions to Dungeons &
Dragons and more.
About ⅔ of the way through the interview Jeff’s cat, Kia, shows up
and demands some attention. We have attempted to remove as much of
their meows as possible, but you may hear some in the
background.
The megadungeon Jeff and his friends are currently going through in
their own DnD game is The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia. More
