Welcome to Tavern Talk Thursday! This is a weekly column where we chat with a member of the TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game) community to learn more about how they found themselves at the table, what they love about tabletop gaming and other fun things. Think of it as a little sneak peeks into the minds of our fellow players and DMs.
The air has chilled, and it’s time to tuck in by the fire for another Tavern Talk Thursday. This week we are chatting with an incredible writer, producer, TTRPG player and all-around fantasy geek – Matt Young. When he isn’t charming his way with well-placed puns or perfecting his David Bowie impression, Young is writing and producing TV series like the upcoming third season of CW’s Kung Fu or older episodes of Blindspot. Check out his favorite stuff about the TTRPG and Dungeons and Dragons community below!

Julia Roth: Let’s chat your TTRPG back story! How did you find yourself at the table?
Matt Young: When I was about nine, my friend Chris invited me to his house to play a new game called Dungeons & Dragons, which was about, in Chris’s words, “wizards and knights having adventures and fighting monsters.” With that well-executed elevator pitch, he had my full and undivided attention, and to his house, I went. I remember he had the Holmes blue box with the Dave Sutherland dragon on the cover, and he ran me through a couple of rooms in the Caves of Chaos in module B2 – The Keep on the Borderlands. Beyond those specifics, I can’t remember much about that first game, and I’m sure I had no idea what was going on – I just rolled whatever weird dice Chris told me to. But I do know that my nine-year-old mind was utterly blown, and the game quickly became my obsession.
