What would a show be without special guests? When it comes to D&D and 4th edition nobody will bring you better than D&D Experience 2010. We are proud to bring you a few favorites from last year as well as a couple of new faces to bounce your never ending questions off of.
Chris Tulach - Wizards of the Coast - D&D Organized Play Content Developer - Originally thought to have been raised from a humble Midwestern family, Chris Tulach actually fell to Earth in a meteorite-shaped capsule flung from a planet far outside our galaxy. While under the yellow rays of Sol, Chris’s nerdity far surpasses that of any normal human. Using this precious gift only for good, he has become the RPGA Content Designer, responsible for the development and deployment of Dungeons & Dragons organized play programs.
Bart Carroll - Wizards of the Coast - D&D Insider - Bart is most frequently found underground, although he infrequently will lair in desolate wildernesses. The globular body of the author is supported by levitation, and he floats slowly about as he wills. Atop the sphere are 10 eyestalks, while in his central area are a great eleventh eye and a large mouth filled with pointed teeth. His body is protected by a hard chitinous covering. The author's eyestalks and eyes are also protected, although less well. Because of his particular nature, Bart is able to withstand the loss of his eyestalks which will eventually grow back (1 week per lost member).
Trevor Kidd - Wizards of the Coast - Wizards Community Lead -
Chris Champagne - Wizards of the Coast - D&D Digital Studio Director - Chris Champagne has been playing D&D since the 1970’s, recently leaving the casino gaming industry for the bright lights and festive costumes of hobby gaming.

Born and raised in sunny Nevada , he’s lived all over the country, often explaining “While my resume might read like a rap sheet, not all those who wander are lost!”
