Jerry Holkins Will be calling into Desert Bus on November 23rd at 2:00pm (PST)
Jerry Holkins is the primary writer of the webcomic Penny Arcade along with its artist Mike Krahulik. Holkins sometimes uses the pseudonym “Tycho Brahe”, the name of his Penny Arcade character.
Together with Krahulik, Holkins created the Penny Arcade Expo beginning in 2004, a series of gaming festivals held in Seattle, Boston, Australia, and San Antonio. He is also a co-founder of Child’s Play, a multimillion-dollar charity which supports a network of hospitals worldwide and US domestic violence support facilities through donations of toys and games.
Have a question for Jerry? Leave it in the comments below.
Have you thought about making an album or book of your poems?
Dear Dr. DM Daddy,
What am I to do with my Thursdays? But seriously, thank you so much for Acquisitions Incorporated & The “C” Team. They occupy a non-trivial amount of space in my head, approaching Middle-earth levels at a frightening speed.
I was just at PAX Unplugged – congrats on a great new PAX.
Victor Lucas asked the question before and I want to ask it again… PAX North in Canada… thoughts?
Dear Dr. Horkims, when can we expect the grain-stroking marathon for hope? Concerned parties want to know.
Hi Jerury!
I was wondering, with all of the side projects you have going on – Twitch streams, PAX, etc. – if the Penny Arcade comic ever feels like an extra. Do you put more of yourself into the other PA-related content, or will the comic always be your first love?
Have you ever considered your character (Omin Dran) be drawn as Moomin Dran?
Serious question: Do you have any tips for creating character backgrounds for DnD?
Would you think about moving Unplugged to a different city/time?
CHALLENGE: Do Caramel Dansen again please!
I dislike the questions “are there any jokes you regret making?” or “if you could go back in time and change one joke, what would it be?” As everything you have done in the past has shaped who you are now. However, with the benefit of the experience and knowledge that your years of working on things have given you, is there a specific joke that you would not make now?
How do you keep your players so invested in your game? I’m a fairly new DM and all of my players are new, and I’ve had a hard time holding their attention. Is there a secret to it, or is this something you and your players pick up with time and experience?
Greetings Jerry.
Would you consider the coffee roast from last year to be a success? What other ventures have you considered?
As a first time pax attendee at unplugged I had a lot of fun, but I could not find the time to do and see everything I wanted to do and/or see. Being a pax veteran how do you find time for the grandure of it all?
How much longer will we wait for the Acq Inc Handbook? (The supplement for making our own Acq Inc Teams.)
Hi Jerry! I realize that there’s the auction for the DM masterclass (which I don’t want to detract from), but do you have any basic tips for absolute first-time DMs? I’ll be leading my first session of Fiasco this weekend (technically a DM-less game, but still) and was wondering if you had some general pointers.
Hey Jerry, I love your work and appreciate everything you do, I have two questions. 1) Any good Holly Conrad stories? 2) Can you convince her to move to Seattle?
How much are you or Mike involved in the various Paxs at this point? Are you still hands on or have they become their own entity?
Dear Jerry Holkins, can you tell us what your best tips on how to create new worlds for our players to enjoy?
Another question, Mister Holkins, could you tell us your best strategies on how to achieve one’s dreams? How do we get to where you are?
Hi Jerry! Greetings from the “C” Team break refugees. Unplugged seemed like a really good time. Acq Int is great. You’re great. That’s all.
How do you feel about railroading versus open world when it comes to D&D? I know you like to give your players a lote of freedom is that something that is intentional, have you experienced the other style.
