Summary: Over the past few weeks, ever since starting this project, I’ve been chatting to a couple of gamers I know. One of the cool things that has happened is that one or two of these guys have agreed to record an interview about their own experiences. <p><br></p> <p>Ted Wallerstedt lives in Minnesota, USA where he works in Computer Audit and Security. Ted has been a Member of the Society of Extraordinary Gamers (SXG) since 2014 and is largely responsible for my own transition to roleplaying online. He’s a regular at my Castles & Crusades Open Table, hosted at SXG.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This interview was recorded while Ted was in Santa Monica, California, and holed up in a motel right on the highway. He was hooked up to a computer with a basic headset and, frankly, I was straining to hear him well while we chatted. That being said, the conversation was a good one and gets to the heart of why online roleplaying is so cool. Bear with us on the quality and see if there’s anything you can take from the conversation in spite of a rough edit. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Links related to the episode:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Find out more about SXG: <a href="https://extraordinarygamers.com/">The Society of Extraordinary Gamers</a></p> <p>(My game is called "Stonehell" and meets on alternate Saturdays)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Fantasy Grounds: <a href="www.fantasygrounds.com">FantasyGrounds.com</a></p> <p>(This is the online roleplaying software we recommend)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Teamspeak 3: <a href="https://www.teamspeak3.com/teamspeak-download.php">Download Teamspeak</a></p> <p>(This is the chat software that SXG uses for online gaming)</p><p> </p>
