Interviews With TTRPG Creators
  • Show Notes

Watch as a full video interview on YouTube


Joe O'Brien is one of the founding members of the Glass Cannon Network, and regularly appears on their shows as both a player and GM, including sitting in the Handler's chair for their hugely popular Delta Green show, Get in the Trunk.


We had a great time chatting with Joe all about how the GCN got started, why he loves the storytelling possibilities that TTRPGs can bring, and discuss whether he prefers the player or GM side of the screen. Plus, we chat about Impossible Landscapes and the unique GM challenges that brought, get some insights into his GM-ing approach, and hear about his plans for GMing Shadowdark in the Dolmenwood. AND he tells us about some exciting upcoming events for the GCN.
