Well, I'm not pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another

drive-to-work, coronavirus edition. So, uh, one of the cool things I'm trying to do, since I'm not

actually in my car, is do some stuff that I can't normally do. And one of those is have guests

call me on the phone, which is surprisingly actually hard to do in the car.

So today's guest is Michael Ryan.

So he was my co-creator of the Weatherlight Saga.

So Michael, hello.

Good morning.

How's it going, Mark?

Your drive seems like it's going well this morning.

Yes, yes.

I made it to work.

So, okay, so what I want to do today is talk a little bit about sort of introduce the audience to who you are and sort of how you

got involved. And then I want to talk Weatherlight Saga. So, um, tell a little bit of how'd you come

to Wizards. How do you end up at Wizards? Oh, I ended up at Wizards in early 95, like just, I think, right before you did,

because I had been an editor at the National Council of Teachers of English, but I was a huge

magic player. And the duelist, you all may remember the duelist, was coming out on a

somewhat irregular basis. So I wrote a fan letter and said,

love your game, love your magazine, everything's great, why you're always so late. If you need a

freelancer to work on the magazine, I work at the National Council Teacher's Ingers, they make

us be on time. And Wattsy reached out and said, you know, instead of a freelancer, how would you

like to come in and work on magic? So I moved cross country from the out and said, you know, instead of a freelancer, how would you like to come in and work on magic?
