If you would like to become an executive producer for Mage the Podcast, it would help us keep producing episodes like this one.

You would also become a part of our own council to discuss upcoming projects.

yeah.

Officially Jervis Johnson to attend.

That's going to be awesome.

Pretty cool.

you know,

Jervis Johnson.

It's just like a whole, it's like the 90s of Games Workshop.

The team's gotten back together again.

That's pretty cool to see.

yeah it's pretty neat i mean i remember reading like white dwarf and stuff and seeing like jervis johnson and andy chambers and like the the byline for the article and here i am like working working with them you know it's pretty pretty weird yeah

what also shows the changes in games workshop because they used to promote their creative people you know you would read white dwarf and they would tell you they would give personalities to their designers and things like that at a certain point they their entire credits page turned into produced by games workshop and not even And I didn't credit any individual person.

Yeah.

And we were very lucky, I think, to be a part of that.

were three legends who hung it together though i mean obviously sawyer was doing the writing um and i think uh you know white dwarf went through a phenomenal change when he took over um robin jews actually kicked this off and then you had mad as a bag of bees jervis johnson in the background as well coming up with stuff so but they were they were all they all had their own own talents and the three of them together um you know with with four distinct characters from four different parts of the business i just think it it just knitted together perfectly

well on that i was going to ask because um so you all worked for games workshop at the time and all in different departments um so what were your exact roles at the company and how did you come to work at games workshop in the first place i i think

most of us we at the time although certainly me obviously was a collector and a gamer.

I saw a lot more of you.

And I want to say, going back to Robin, he kept a fairly loose rein on us.

It was only at the end when they let Mad Jervis Johnson loose on the final one, which was, it was completely bonkers.

Mad,

It's the same, like you get an email from somebody who was like, oh, I just started playing miniatures gaming because five weeks or par six or whatever.

And it's like, you know, it makes you think back of like when I was a kid and, you know, like I started playing miniatures games because of like, you know, Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers and those guys.

Right.

So realizing that you have that same position for somebody else is like really, you know, um, so yeah, it's, um, just getting through, like obviously like being able to sit and create things.

Yeah, turning up with a new mega army.

But I guess it's a matter of discipline, right? Because Jervis Johnson would do this sometimes.

Remember, he'd go to some tournaments, but he'd go to them specifically to interact with the players.

And he'd play, and Jervis was famously unlucky and bad at Warhammer, even though he was the writer of it.
