For a second thrilling chat, the inventor of HeroQuest, Battle Masters, Havok, and Heroscape Stephen Baker in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.

Stephen Baker joins Jordan Sorcery for a second conversation, this time talking more about the creation of Battle Masters - the final Games Workshop and Milton Bradley collaboration; his subsequent career as a freelance game designer; working with Blue Bird on Polly Pocket and Mighty Max and how the technology behind Disney micro-playsets informed the creation of a brand new 40k-style miniature wargame with prepainted miniatures from Bob Naismith; the creation of Heroscape; and more about a lifetime working in the games industry.

From HeroQuest to Space Crusade and beyond, Stephen Baker's games introduced a generation to the worlds of Warhammer and 40k, and started countless hobby journeys. In this interview he shares the story of the creation of his iconic games.
