Dan Wells

They were going to come teach for free.

They were going to bring their friends like Dan Wells and Charlie Holmberg.

All these individuals were going to come and teach their craft for free, where some of these other conferences, they would be compensated to teach their classes.

Right.

So I bet that he kind of gave his blessing and kept tabs on it, but was not involved in the day to day.

That looks like it'll be Johnny O'Neill, Isaac Stewart and Dan Wells.

that would probably be in there.

And then they've got lead designer, lead writer, lead editor, and project leads.

It's a unique alternative to traditional character building.

This adventure allows players to begin as level zero characters, defining their abilities and backstory through play, which is really neat.

And then Stonewalkers is your basic level one through eight story that it says right in here is written by Brandon Sanderson and Dan Wells.

So like they work together for this.

actually goes even deeper than that, Betts.

It's a very cool story, but to make it a short one, Dan Wells, Isaac Stewart, at least definitely Dan Wells.

I'm actually not entirely sure about Isaac Stewart.

Correct me if I'm wrong, Rich, but they were in like the same kind of creative writing group that Brandon was in when he was in college.

It's wonderful for me like that.

That is basically as if Richie and I wrote a story and we had like an Easter egg between the two of us, an inside joke, something that only us knew, and we were able to insert it.

And that was in the Yasna story with Dan Wells.

And that's awesome to me.

I was looking at original outlines.

So one thing I will say is that Johnny and Dan, Dan Wells and Johnny O'Neill, had a lot of conversations about, like, sort of what they wanted to see in Legacy.

And the idea of having a split area adventure that featured, you know, a time skip in the middle was kind of definitely a thing that was fundamental, you know, kind of from the beginning and something that they were chatting about.

Dan wrote early outlines that had a lot of the like spine of the adventure that you will still see there.

It's sort of a testament to our relationship with Dragonsteel and also our relationship with our playtesting in both of those cases of talking through a lot of that stuff that those changes did get made.

I'll start with my part.

Johnny and Dan Wells came up with the initial high-level things.

The fact that that exists, everything going on with the Eternity Spike, Um, the, you know, the fact that this is split over two eras, there's a bunch of just like key things that they, you know, wanted to hit.

I didn't actually do save the cat.

I did the, um, seven step, the Dan Wells seven step story structure.

I forgot exactly what it's called.

Seven points, which I've talked about before.
