And Then Quinns Went on a Work Trip

It’s amazing (although sensible) that all my favorite reviewers, thinkers, and creators have collided this year. First with Colville, now Mulligan? Very excellent!

Collin Hancock

Two hours here! Unfortunately, needs must and I guess getting a handle on my chronic migraines was higher priority.

John

Absolutely gutted to not attend the talk at Auburn U, it's like 3.5 hours away... alas. Happy to see many cool projects in the works, though! I hope all the travel treats you well; may your flights arrive on time and traffic part for the journey!

Ennis Jackson

He didn't?? He's just like me for real

Quinns Quest

We should not forget that Victor did not finish university. INSPIRATIONAL! And on the subject of telling d20's audience to play other games: GOOD! I love Brennan's liberational, revolutionary passion, yet he's so often still shackled to the most corporate game of all. The more he can be freed, the more he can help others.

Benj

Have fun, don't burn out.

Maciej Tauer

Glad you’re discussing the space D&D takes up in the hobby! From the first hour of the recent podcast episode you both were in alongside Dr. Friedman, I suspect Brennan Lee Mulligan will undoubtedly provide challenging insights on the topic that will surely make the talk interesting. Given that however, make sure to take care of yourself Quinns! Now, I’m a fan of yours because of the fiery passion you have in this hobby and in your work. The problem with fiery passions is that it can be so bright that one’s blinded to the flames. I hope that you will stay safe and healthy in the coming weeks!

Shoutout to Rae Nawrocki at WEGL college radio here at Auburn who has been killing it with her Type Speaks interviews this fall (she also spoke to Meguey Baker before and during her visit to Auburn last month)

Em

Yes — the public event is next Tuesday at 4 PM, Aub.ie/phgames will have details (the only ticketed part is Quinns running Blood on the Clocktower later that evening)

Em

Have fun! Hopefully our government is opened back up so you don't get travel delays 🤞

Jacob LaBruzzo

New QQ episode soon!

Todd Christiansen

While you’re in Philadelphia you should stop by Runehammer and chat with the man Hankerin Fernale! Creator of Crown & Skull and Index RPG if somehow those have slipped under your radar

DuneArchitect

Are you able to give details on the Auburn visit? Is it something non-students can attend?

Randy May

This is awesome news. Build those bridges across the pond and spread the joy of ttrpgs other than D&D Dr Quinns!

Alexander

I'm going to Auburn! Not Alabama! Want to make that very clear!

Quinns Quest

Crazy that you're going to be so close to me. I may try to see if I can catch you on UAB's campus.

Yancey

Everyone pray for Quinns as he gets an earful for 90 miles on THAT phrase so he doesn’t stumble into a football incident!

Em

No — it’s been in the works since I met Quinns and Brennan (separately) in person in 2024. The Talk of the Table was set up as a dry run.

Em

I have never been more excited for an Adventuring Academy ep. Did he invite you after the roundtable you did a few weeks ago?

Spencer St. James

Good luck on your travels! May you brave the New World and our increasingly savage ways.

AngryPanda

Really considering driving almost 200 miles to see him at that totally obscure "University in Alabama"

Jay B

Amazing! I will be at PAXU and will at least be able to go to the panel. Also, I live in LA and if you need good food recs, I am happy to channel my inner Jonathon Gold and oblige.

Eddie

“…I intend to use the platform to tell the Dropout audience that they should stop playing D&D.” Our strongest soldier rides to war. Take up your swords, fellow countrymen! Today, we strike a mighty blow against the dragon (game)!

Blizzic

That interview was /superb/ and I have high hopes for the Adventuring Academy episode. Travel safe!

GC

Is Quinns comparing himself to Oscar Isaacs now?

Jon Pio

Oh man Mr.QQuest himself on Dropout? Very exciting. Barely hovering over the excitement that is for the next episode of this season of QQuest

Philip Ivarsson

Yaaay for bringing non-D&D to my fellow rabid Dropout fans! Congrats on Adventuring Academy and these many successes. Godspeed! 🫡

klaxon

Ooooh I don't live too far from where the talk is happening in Alabama and I definitely won't be making it to PAXU, lol. The tickets for the event says sold out, but is that just for the game you're running after? Or is it for the talk as well? If the talk is open without any registration I'd love to still make it!

ada

Only Quinns’ Blood on the Clocktower game that night is sold out — the talk is open to all and it shouldn’t be listed as sold out (we don’t have restriction on the talk, just keeping tabs in case we need to shift venue)

Em

ada

Quinns on Dropout with BLeeM is unreal. Looking forward to it!

Matt Wallis

Quinns and Mulligan together is, for me, is the ttrpg equivalent of the "Predator" handclasp meme.

Max Brannan

Ive always wanted to go to PaxU, I need to make it happen next year.

SuccessfulGeek

That sounds like quite the adventure! Have fun!

Antonio Ruiz

Looking forward to your return to PAXU in my hometown! SU&SD is why I attended the very first one (& where i got to shake your hand)... this upcoming PAX I'm playing in one megagame and helping to run another (another SU&SD inspiration), and where my fave annual feature is the indie RPG "Games On Demand" -- you may wish to check it out, Quinns, if you have the time. Safe travels, hope i can catch your panels, and thank you for the light you shine on our hobby.

the endgame

Folks near Auburn AL can consult Aub.ie/phgames for details of the public parts of Quinns’ visit. His Blood on the Clocktower run is sold out, but his public conversation is not limited (unless something VERY WEIRD happens)

Em

Good luck! Safe travels :)

Tomas Hickman

So hype for the Quinns appearance in the Dome!

Tyler Hildebran

WOOOOO QUINNS ON DROPOUT!!!! Also hell yeah you should tell them to stop play D&D and try other stuff. You changed my Tabletop Career forever once I clicked on your video and now I can’t even think of going back to boring D&D. I really can’t wait to see what waves your Adventuring Academy interview will make in the Tabletop Community and to see what Brennan says in return!!! So excited!

Moustachecat13

Can't wait for the Dimension 20 appearance, go tell those paying Dropout members that their favourite game is actually mid! I'm sure it'll go well

Matteo Mangioni

Excited for PAX, all the more so because of your events!

Zachary Somogyi

Awesome! I’m running a booth at PAXU (the Goodman Games booth), so I probably won’t get a chance to come to your shows or signings, but I hope you enjoy the con!

Doc Webb

Hell yeah boss , you’re gonna smash it, have a great time 🤙

J K

Can't wait to see how the dimension 20 discussion goes! Good luck.
