RPGNET: This is an interview with someone Marginally Famous who wrote some material that is liked by some people who may or may not play RPGs. Thanks Marginally Famous, can i call you Marge?
MF: Uhhh, no, you should call me MF.
RPGNET: Great! OK, well, MF, I'd like to start things out by saying you are a genius, and you wrote a bunch of great stuff.
MF: Thank you.
RPGNET: You wrote a lot of stuff I liked a lot. How did you get your ideas?
MF: I read a lot of stuff.
RPGNET: Read a lot of stuff?
MF: Yes, probably moreso than most people. I like to call it research.
RPGNET: Wow, research. But surely there's more to it than just that?
MF: Well, then I think about it and write stuff related to it.
RPGNET: But how do you go about thinking up this stuff, it's amazing!
MF: Well, basically... I'm a genius. I'm smarter than most people so can think up connections between what I know, and I read a lot, so I know a lot more to start with than most people. Kind of double whammy.
RPGNET: Yes, genius. I was thinking that myself. You certainly are.
MF: Thanks. [Laughs]
RPGNET: The question on everyone's mind now is, what do you have planned in the future?
MF: I plan to write more stuff.
RPGNET: Awesome! I'm sure everyone is looking forward to that. I'm sure it'll be great.
MF: I'd like to think so.
RPGNET: I know it will be. Oh, but looks like we are out of time. Any last thoughts?
MF: Yes, keep buying my stuff.
RPGNET: No doubt we all will. Thank you for giving up 30 seconds of your valuable time to consent to an interview.
MF: That last sentence put you over. You owe me five seconds.
RPGNET: Huh?
MF: We agreed to 30 seconds, you grovelled too much at the end there, you owe me 5 seconds. Actually, 15 now.
RPGNET: Oh. Well... I don't know how to pay you in seconds. You don't want to interview me, do you?
MF: [Laughs] No.
RPGNET: [Dejectedly:] Oh.
MF: [Still laughing.] No, really, that's OK. While you were interviewing me I was reading books for research, so I didn't really give up 30 full seconds to you.
RPGNET: Wow! Reading and doing an interview at the same time. Did I mention that you are a genius?
MF: Now your time really is up. [While leaving:] Remember to buy my stuff.
RPGNET: Oh, we will, we will. That was our interview with someone Marginally Famous in RPGs or areas related to RPGs that RPG type people would probably have some interest in or adapt for use in RPGs. Join us next time for an interview with someone else who does something related to RPGs in some way who some of you may have heard of.
