![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.

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.

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!

![40ks First Author | Ian Watson in Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Ian Watson is the original author for the 40K universe. Hired by Bryan Ansell to write science-fiction stories for his beloved settings, Watson was responsible for creating the Inquisitor trilogy featuring Draco, MehLindi the assassin, and Grimm the Squat, as well as for writing the long verboten novel Space Marine.
Watson also worked with legendary film maker Stanley Kubrick to create the screenplay for the movie that would later be made by Steven Spielberg - A.I. Artificial Intelligence - and we talked about the process and outcomes of that unique experience.
Many thanks to my Patreon supporters and Lewis of the Oldhammer Fiction Podcast for help in prepping for this interview.
