Watch Dan and James speak to author and gamer Jody Lynn Nye (2:02). Jody is the author and co-author of over 50 books and 125 articles and short stories. Her great career includes that she wrote six companion books for the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. Those are great accomplishments, but for us it is her typing the first manuscripts for the first three books of AD&D 1e (prolific world renowned author….meh….saw the Monster Manual after it was typed and written by Gary Gygax, awesome!).
