Jeff Vogel Interview

GamerDad has conducted an interview with Spiderweb Software’s Jeff Vogel, in which they quiz the old-school RPG creator about being a parent, developer, publisher, and gamer all at the same time.

Q: You are viewed as a milestone success in independent gaming. What would you like to see kids get out of gaming in the future that they are not getting from it today?

A: I think games are a marvelous leisure activity. I think that children, like every other human, deserve leisure. I think games today are just fine.

Except for one thing I’d like to add. I think that massively multiplayer online role-playing games are some of the most marvelous educational games ever made. I think the way they teach children to type, communicate, and work as a team is truly marvelous.
