![Paul Cockburn | In Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
In the 1980s Bryan Ansell took over Games Workshop and reshaped it into a brand new company. Paul Cockburn joined Games Workshop from TSR UK having worked on Imagine Magazine and supplements for Dungeons & Dragons.
During his time at GW Paul oversaw the relocation of White Dwarf from London to Nottingham and its evolution into a dedicated Warhammer magazine. He also helped to launch Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and worked on an early plan for Games Workshop fiction novels that could have seen Terry Pratchett tackle the Old World!

![Art God | Ian Miller in Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Ian Miller is one of the greatest fantasy artists in the world and throughout his career his unique style has brought countless dark and surreal worlds to life.
As an artist for Games Workshop he worked closely with Bryan Ansell and John Blanche to produce some of early Warhammer’s most unique and iconic imagery. In his role as art editor for GW Books he commissioned some of the finest artists of the era and composed the timeless covers for Warhammer’s fiction.
And beyond Games Workshop his collaborations with director Ralph Bakshi saw his work grace the cinema screen in innovative films like Wizards and Cool World.
In this interview Ian shares his art philosophy and process, and recalls many fascinating stories from a lifetime in splendid fantasy.

![Early Games Workshop | Peter Darvill-Evans in Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Author and former Games Workshop board member Peter Darvill-Evans in conversation with Jordan Sorcery.
Games Workshop and White Dwarf have a long history dating back to days before Warhammer Fantasy even existed. Under the tenure of co-founders Steve Jackson and Sir Ian Livingstone GW was the European importer of the new roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons, the UK publisher of multiple RPGs from companies like Chaosium, and the retailer for all manner of tabletop games and distractions.
By the mid-80s the founders would leave to concentrate on gamebook adventures for Fighting Fantasy, whilst a boardroom battle determined the order of succession and the shift for Games Workshop from selling everyone’s games, to focusing on their own creations manufactured in Nottingham.
My guest today joined Games Workshop in those early days, working in the first retail store before managing the entire retail operation. He contributed to White Dwarf, played in Ian & Steve’s band, wrote some Fighting Fantasy adventures of his own, created the Dr Who RPG and published many Dr Who books, and he was even a member of the board during that stressful succession.

![Dracula, Hammer Horror, and Warhammer Fantasy | Warhammer Film Club
The 1958 Hammer Horror adaptation of Dracula is a British cinema classic that Warhammer co-creator Rick Priestley has mentioned alongside other Hammer films as influencing the creation of the Empire and the Old World.
Featuring Christopher Lee as the count and Peter Cushing as his nemesis Dr. Van Helsing and following the action from castle Dracula to London this is a study in place and time. Its not hard to see how Hammer played a role in the conception of Warhammer and in this episode we explore it all in more detail!
